In Washington state, there are no changes to the childhood or adult immunization schedule, insurance coverage, or school immunization requirements.
The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has developed its own recommended childhood and adolescent immunization schedule (PDF) for children and adolescents from birth through 18 years of age. This schedule is based on recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
All vaccines recommended for children and adolescents remain available at no cost through Washington’s universal Childhood Vaccine Program (CVP) at participating provider sites. Uninsured adults age 19 and older can receive recommended vaccines at no cost through Washington’s Adult Vaccine Program (AVP).
