Deadlines for back-to-school immunizations are closer than they seem, and appointment slots at clinics across the Central Valley fill up quickly as the school year approaches.
Why Back-To-School Immunizations Can’t Wait
California schools are required to check immunization records at school entry — especially for kids starting preschool, TK, kindergarten or entering 7th grade, where specific immunizations are required. Children who aren’t up to date may be turned away or face delays getting settled into the school year.
Every summer, families wait until the final weeks before school — and by then, clinics are overwhelmed and appointments are hard to get. Scheduling now means you’re ahead of the rush, and your child is set before the stress of back-to-school season hits.
Guiding You Through The Process
Navigating healthcare checkpoints can feel overwhelming, especially for families with multiple children. You may not know which immunizations your child needs, or whether you have the right paperwork. That’s okay. Our care team is here to help walk you through it.
If you have your child’s yellow immunization card, bring it. If you don’t have it or aren’t sure where it is, come anyway — we can help you figure out where things stand and what’s needed. And if your family doesn’t currently have insurance coverage, don’t let that stop you from getting your children the care they need. We work with patients regardless of their ability to pay.
Have more than one child? Book their appointments together so you only need to make one trip.
