Childbood Immunizations


Immunizations aren’t on anyone’s list of fun things to do – but they are probably the single most important thing parents can do to protect their children against disease.

You can get immunizations at your doctor’s office or the county health department. Evergreen’s Healthcare Access Program also offers vaccinations required for school attendance for children ages 4 to 19 at no charge. For more information, please call 425.739.8400.

Recommended immunizations for ages 0-6 years

Recommended immunizations for ages 7-18 years   

Recommended immunication catch-up schedule  


It’s important to keep a record of your child’s immunizations, as you’ll need them for admission to school. Download a handy immunization record (PDF) that you can keep at home.

Parents must also decide if they want their tweenage daughters to receive the HPV vaccine, which can provide protection against human papillomavirus, or HPV, a very common sexually transmitted disease that is linked to cervical cancer and genital warts.
