Area Groups Offer Free/Low Cost Child Immunizations

Several Spring Branch area organizations are offering free or reduced cost immunizations for students up to 18 years old who meet qualifying criteria. (See details below). All Spring Branch ISD students need to be current on all required vaccines to enroll and to continue enrollment. Vaccines protect our youths from numerous preventable diseases.

Under the Texas Vaccines for Children (TVFC) Program, the following groups of children are eligible to receive free vaccines: uninsured or underinsured children (vaccines not covered at 100 percent); children who are covered by CHIP; children who are Native American and/or of Native Alaskan heritage; and children who are on Medicaid.

A child’s parent or a legal guardian must accompany children for vaccinations. The student’s immunization record or a request from a school nurse is also needed.

To learn more details, please visit the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) website located at http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/immunize.
