Where Can I Get Immunizations?

  • HISD is committed to supporting student immunization needs. If your student still needs to complete their required vaccinations, please do so this Saturday, November 4th!

    HISD is partnering with the Houston Health Department to offer free vaccinations to students on the following dates:

    Saturday, November 11th at:

    • Sharpstown HS from 9AM-11AM*
    • Fondren MS from 9AM-11AM*

    *Please note that depending on volume of visitors, while registration will close around 11am, some families may be on site until as late at 6PM to due client volume. Please arrive early.

    Parents, we strongly urge you to fill out the consent form prior to the event. Students with pre-consent will be given priority. Consents should be returned to your school nurse in advance of the event to help expedite processing time.

    We have established bus hubs for the transportation of students and parents to and from the immunization sites. Buses start running at 8am and arrive at least every hour, depending on traffic to the vaccination site.

    • Waltrip Bus Hubs: Lanier, Fonville, Pershing, & Forest Brook
    • Chavez Bus Hubs: Lawson, Hartman MS, Sterling HS, & Thompson
    • Sharpstown Bus Hubs: Tanglewood, Revere, Las Americas, Liberty, Daily
    • Fondren MS Bus Hubs: Valley West, Westbury, Welch, Longfellow

    If you have any questions or concerns regarding the immunization event, please feel free to reach out to our dedicated Health and Medical Services team at 713-556-7280.
