Nevada law requires that all children have up to date immunizations and boosters to be enrolled in a public school. We are required to remove children from school who are not fully immunized or have incomplete records. The immunizations below are required before your child can be admitted to school or an appointment card with the scheduled date for immunization(s) must be attached to this form.
