School and Child Care Minimum Immunization Requirements
As children grow, they spend more time in school and attending playdates, which increases the likelihood of exposure to germs and illnesses. To safeguard your child's health as they enter school and interact with more peers, ensure they receive timely vaccinations.
The Virginia Department of Health defines the minimum requirements and vaccines for school.
The CDC Immunization Schedule for children will give you an idea of the recommended timeframe to schedule your child's vaccine from birth to 6 years old.
