Immunizations Required for Students

Nevada law requires that all children be fully immunized before entering school.

New immunization requirements are in effect for all K-12 students new to the school district beginning with the 2011-2012 school year.

Visit the Clark County School District's Student Enrollment Process for vaccination requirements. To find the immunizations required, choose the grade your child will be attending, then scroll down to Proof of Immunizations.

Costs

Vaccine costs vary based on the type of immunization required. In addition to the vaccine costs, the health district charges an administrative fee of $16 per child for one vaccine and $25 per child for two or more vaccines.

Payment by Visa†, MasterCard†, cash, Culinary Insurance*, Nevada Check-up, and Medicaid is accepted. Not all vaccines are covered by insurance.

† Credit cards are not accepted at offsite clinics, such as malls, community centers, etc.

*Culinary insurance is only accepted for children less than 19 years of age.

Note: Credit cards must have the exact name as the identification presented. For example, a credit card with the name Jim Smith will not be accepted if the driver’s license reads James Smith.
