Students in WPS must be compliant with the Colorado school immunization law in order to attend school. If your child has already received the required immunizations or has an exemption on file with the student’s school, please provide their immunization records/exemptions to the school office.

Low cost vaccines are available at Kids First Health Care and the Adams County Health department. Please ask your front office staff for more information.

GRADES 6-12 (TDAP REQUIRED)

Colorado State law requires all students entering 6th through 12th grades to have the Tdap, unless exempt, for school attendance:


  • 1 Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccine (6th-12th grade)
  • 5 DTaP – Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (5 doses of DTaP vaccines are required unless the 4th dose was given on or after the 4th birthday, in which case only 4 doses are required.)
  • 4 IPV – Polio (4 doses of Polio vaccine are required unless the 3rd dose was given on or after the 4th birthday, in which case only 3 doses are required.)
  • 2 MMR – Measles, Mumps, Rubella
  • 3 Hep B – Hepatitis B (must be appropriately spaced with the 3rd vaccine given after six months of age)
  • 2 Varicella –2 Chickenpox vaccines or history of disease provided by doctor/health provider

The summer break is a great time to get the required shots for the upcoming school year. Please make arrangements for your student at their health provider.
