View a list of required vaccinations here:
On or before the first day of attendance, the school must receive medically verified proof of the child’s:
full immunizations
initiation of schedule of immunizations, or
certificate of exemption, current with the state requirements.
A completed and signed certificate of immunization status (Свидетельство о состоянии иммунизации) (Certificado de Estado de Vacunación) (свідоцтва про стан імунізації) is required to be on file at the school, preschool or child care facility.
The Washington state Department of Health offers MyIR for secure, online management of family immunization records. Once you register, you can access the records any time and even print your child’s certificate of immunization status for school entry. Register for MyIR.
