For Parents and Guardians:
Children in the District of Columbia are required to receive certain vaccinations to attend any school or Licensed Childcare Development Center.
School Immunization Compliance Guides
The vaccinations that are required are summarized in these documents
Universal Health Certificate
Records of many vaccinations are automatically reported by health care providers to the District of Columbia Immunization Information System (DOCIIS). Nonetheless, each parent is required to show to schools that their child has been fully vaccinated by asking their child’s health care provider to complete a Universal Health Certificate and bringing that completed form to school on or before the first day of school each year.
Blank copies of the Universal Health Certificate and other immunization forms are available here: Immunization Forms.
For Schools and Licensed Child Development Centers:
Schools and Licensed Child Development Centers are required to verify that their students/children are complying with the District’s vaccination requirements.
Immunization Compliance Report
A summary data report on compliance with the immunization requirement by school is here: School Leaders Immunization Compliance Report
