Quick Guide for Parents & Caretakers: What Vaccines Your Child Needs

As you prep for school or childcare, Washington State Department of Health (DOH) makes it easy to know which vaccines are required for kids. These simple charts from Washington DOH’s School and Child Care Immunizations webpage walk you through what’s needed at each age: Required Immunizations for School-aged Children and Required Immunizations for Childcare. 

To check if your child is already up to date on their vaccines, you can follow any of the steps below:  

  • Sign up for MyIR Mobile at MyIRmobile.com to view and print your family’s immunization information, including COVID vaccination. 
  • Request a complete immunization record from your health care provider, clinic, or local pharmacy. 
  • Request a complete immunization record from your child’s school. 
  • Request a complete immunization record from the Department of Health. 

For more information on these steps, including how to request records, visit the WA DOH webpage: Access your Family’s Immunization Information. A few minutes of planning now can save you from last-minute stress later.
