Student Services Clinic

Immunizations

Texas state laws require that students are current with immunizations to enroll in school. Our clinic can help students get the immunizations they need to attend school.

• Help with verification: We help check immunization records to make sure that every student that enrolls through the enrollment center is current with immunizations.
• Immunization clinics: Our clinic provides an opportunity for eligible students to get the vaccines they need. Through our program, students can get vaccinated during the enrollment process to help them attend school faster.

To learn more about immunization requirements, see our immunizations page.
