Did you know Texas leads the nation in the rate of children without insurance?
Children need multiple vaccines during their childhood years to help prevent disease that are returning in full force like polio. Texas requires that students be fully vaccinated against the following diseases: Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis: 4 or 5 doses required for K-6 grades. Three doses and one booster within the last five years for 7th grade. Three doses and one booster within last 10 years for 8-12 grades.
