COVID-19 Vaccine NOT REQUIRED for Students Next Fall -
TODAY, the State Board of Health (SBOH), voted to not requireWashington’s students be vaccinated against COVID-19 for school attendance. This means that in fall 2022, immunization requirements for students will remain unchanged. SBOH supports the efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine and notes that vaccination is the best way to protect oneself and those around you, especially against severe illness. The District is anticipating the current health and safety guidance from the state Department of Health will remain in place next fall, which includes regular cleaning and disinfecting, encouraging masks, sharing reminders of
proper hand hygiene, and physical distancing to the extent possible while ensuring a full-time in-person opportunity for all students.
