State law requires that all immunization records submitted to schools or child care centers be medically verified. Your child cannot attend until you provide these records. Learn more about school and child care immunizations.
Schools or child care facilities must receive immunization records on or before the first day of attendance. Such records must be from a health care provider, or you must attach paperwork from a health care provider to your handwritten form that shows your child’s records are accurate. Your child cannot attend school or child care until you provide these records.
