The information on this webpage is for reporting the immunization status of students in transition to kindergarten through 12th grades. Preschool and Child Care reporting information is available at Child Care and Early Learning Immunization Reporting.
Reporting Options
The annual report data may be submitted using one of the following methods:
School Module – Preferred Reporting Method
An active user of the School Module (who keeps the Roster up to date and enters missing immunization dates and exemptions), does not have to file a report. The report will be drawn from School Module data. For more information about the School Module, please visit: www.doh.wa.gov/schoolmodule.
Direct Reporting
We will be sending information about this year's report via our Listserve by November 1st. To sign up for updates to the immunization requirements and reporting, enter your email, click the submit button, and select the school list option from the immunization choices given.
By November 1st, an email will be sent to the reporter on record or school administrator (principal or head of school) regarding the annual immunization report. The email will include an instruction worksheet and training documents. It will also include a link to the online reporting tool. This link is unique to the school and should not be used for other schools. If not the reporter on record, the school administrators may forward the email to the person designated to complete the report. If the reporter on record or school administrator did not receive their reporting email please notify DOH by sending an email to OICPSchools@doh.wa.gov.
