Every student enrolled/registered in school or childcare in the state of Washington must have medically verified immunization records on file with the school in which they are enrolled/registering. Please take the coming weeks to check with your child's physician to make sure your student is up-to-date on all their required immunizations. Medically verified immunization records include one or more of the following:

• A Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS) printed from the Immunization Information System (IIS)
• A physical copy of the CIS form with a healthcare provider signature
• A physical copy of the CIS form with accompanying medical immunization records from a healthcare provider verified and signed by school staff
• A CIS printed from MyIR

The update to Chapter 246-105 WAC has three major focuses:

• It now requires medically verified immunization records for school and childcare entry.
• It clarifies conditional status in regard to school and child care immunization requirements and implementation.
• It changes the Tdap immunization requirement to 7th through 12th grades.
