Immunizations: Each student must have a current Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS) on file in the school office in order to attend school. All vaccination records must be medically verified. Examples include:

  • A Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS) form printed with the vaccination dates from the Washington State Immunization Information System (IIS), MyIR, or another state’s IIS.
  • A completed hardcopy CIS with a health care provider validation signature.
  • A completed hardcopy CIS with attached vaccination records printed from a health care provider’s electronic health record with a health care provider signature or stamp.

Please sign and date the CIS as the parent/guardian to allow the school secretary to update your child's records in the Washington State Immunization Information System (WAIIS) if needed.

Our Lady of Fatima Parish School utilizes the Washington Immunization Information System (WAIIS) School Module provided by the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) for administration of student immunization records and filing required state reports. The IIS is a statewide system used by most healthcare providers to record vaccines administered to their patients, and most children born and/or vaccinated in Washington already have their information in the system. Having access to the School Module allows us to quickly and efficiently check that our students have the vaccines required for school.

In general, having access to this system alleviates the need for parents to submit immunization records as their child(ren) reach milestones during their educational career (preschool entry, kindergarten entry, and 7th grade entry). However, if your child is missing vaccines in the system, we may ask for a copy of your child’s immunization record. You can access your child’s IIS record at any time by signing up for MyIR at https://wa.myir.net/register.

If a family does not wish for their child’s information (full name, grade, address, phone number, birthdate, gender, and student number) to be shared with the DOH, the parents/guardians may opt out by emailing the school secretary.

Only Medical Exemptions Allowed (No Personal/Philosophical or Religious Exemptions Permitted)
The Archdiocese of Seattle immunization policy states that, prior to entry, attendance, or transfer to a Level 1 or 1b Catholic pre-school through high school in the Archdiocese of Seattle, students must present proof of having had the immunizations as required by Washington State law.

Every student enrolled in a Level 1 or 1b Catholic School in the Archdiocese of Seattle shall be immunized against vaccine preventable diseases caused by infectious agents in accordance with the immunization schedule adopted by the Washington State Department of Health Services. The only exception to the foregoing requirements for students in our Catholic schools is a medical exemption signed by a licensed professional (M.D., N.D., D.O., ARNP, or PA) authorized to practice in the State of Washington, including the physician’s license number. Failure to obtain required immunizations prior to admission or to maintain required immunizations during enrollment may result in a denial of attendance.

Change to Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (Tdap) Vaccine Requirement
Starting on August 1, 2020, the requirement for a Tdap dose changes from grade 6-12 to grade 7-12. All students entering 7th through 12th grades must have one booster dose of Tdap vaccine. In the 2020-2021 school year, all students in 7th grade must have received their Tdap dose on or after age 10 years. Students in 8th through 12th grades must have received their Tdap dose on or after age 7 years.
