Immunization
All SMCS students are required to be current with their vaccinations. Please provide our school admissions office with documentation of your child’s vaccinations as soon as possible.
This documentation must be validated by a physician or public health personnel. If you’re unsure if your child has had their most recent vaccinations, please visit the Texas Health and Human Services website to view the complete schedule for vaccination requirements and then speak with your child’s physician.
- Immunization records must be fully up to date before the first day of attendance.
- Diocese of Austin policy mandates that "every student enrolled in a Catholic School shall be immunized against vaccine preventable diseases caused by infectious agents in accordance with the immunization schedule adopted by the Texas Department of State Health. Immunizations are not in conflict with the Catholic faith. Conscientious objections or waivers do not qualify as an exception to this policy."
- If you have questions about immunizations, please visit the Texas Department of State Health Services for Texas Immunization Requirements
- If you have childred in PK3 and/or PK4, be sure to reference the Texas Immunization Requirements for Child-Care facilities.
- If you have questions for our health office you may direct questions or provide documentation to: health@stmarystaylor.org
