Program Overview
Washington State school and child care vaccination requirements serve the purpose to reduce the incidence of vaccine-preventable disease and their associated negative outcomes by increasing vaccination rates. All child cares and schools are required to report their immunization status by November 1 of each year. The Immunization Assessment & Promotion program at Spokane Regional Health District provides local support to schools and child cares regarding immunization record collection and review, mobile immunization clinic coordination to address vaccine gaps among their student population, and state vaccine and vaccine education requirement satisfaction.
