Dear Parents of Students in Texas Schools, Kindergarten through 12th Grades:

Immunizations are an important part of public health, and Texas law requires students in Texas schools to be immunized against certain vaccine-preventable diseases.  The Department of State Health Services (DSHS) understands that it can be hard to find the time and money to get your children vaccinated, and many times it is not something you are able to do until the month of August.  But we would like to stress the importance of getting these required vaccines at the earliest possible time, to avoid the back-to-school immunization rush that occurs every year during the month of August.

Below is a list of the required vaccines for students who will attend a Texas school in the 2010-2011 school year.  This list includes new requirements that were added to kindergarten and 7th grade in 2009.  Please be aware that students without the required immunizations or a valid exemption will not be allowed to attend school.

Vaccine requirements for students entering kindergarten through 12th grade:

  • 3 to 5 doses of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTaP/DPT/DT/Td)
  • 3 to 4 doses of polio
  • 2 doses of measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)
  • 3 doses of hepatitis B
  • 1 to 2 doses of varicella
  • 1 booster dose of tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) 10 years after the last dose of tetanus-diphtheria-containing vaccine

Additional vaccine requirements for students entering kindergarten, 1st grade, 7th grade, and 8th grade:

  • 2 doses of hepatitis A for students entering K - 1st grade
  • 2 doses of varicella for students entering K - 1st grade and 7th - 8th grade
  • 1 booster dose of tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) for students entering 7th grade, if at least 5 years have passed since the last dose of tetanus-diphtheria-containing vaccine
  • 1 dose of meningococcal for students entering 7th - 8th grade
