Immunization Information

  • Texas school and child-care facility immunization requirements are determined by the state legislature and set by the Texas Department of State Health Services, in conjunction with the Texas Education Agency.

    Maintaining adequate immunization rates in schools is critical to preventing disease outbreaks and ensuring the health of Texas children.

*Attention Parents of INCOMING 7th GRADERS

  • Texas state law requires students attending school to be immunized against certain vaccine-preventable diseases. 

    All students entering 7th grade at Mance Park Middle School are required to have additional immunizations for admission to school including meningococcal and whooping cough shots.  An HPV vaccination and an annual flu shot also keep illness, even cancer, away. We encourage you to get your child vaccinated early so as to avoid the end-of-summer vaccination rush. Getting your child vaccinated protects your child’s health and that of the community.

    Protect your kids – vaccinate them.
