As families prepare for the 2025-26 school year, immunizations must be current before students return to the classroom.

The Francis Howell School District is partnering with Compass Health to hold a free back-to-school immunization clinic this summer. This clinic will allow all kindergarten through 12th-grade students in the district to receive routine immunizations.

Date: August 12, 2025

Time: 3 - 6 p.m.

Location: Francis Howell North High School

"I am excited that the Francis Howell School District is partnering with Compass Health to bring convenient immunization clinics to our community,” said FHSD Nurse Coordinator Angela Underwood-Olson.

Families are strongly encouraged to sign up for the event ahead of time by filling out this Vaccination Registration form. Compass Health will only be administering school-required vaccinations. Missouri law requires children in Kindergarten through 12th grade to be immunized against certain preventable diseases.

Required immunizations include DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis) or DT (Diphtheria and Tetanus); IPV (Polio); Hepatitis B; MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella); and Varicella (Chickenpox). Two additional vaccinations are required for students in grades 8-12: Tdap (Pertussis) and Meningococcal (Meningitis). Updated immunization records are required for students entering Kindergarten, 8th grade, and 12th grade.

In addition to vaccines, we will have child activity centers, Medicaid enrollment specialists, school dental van sign-ups, free and reduced lunch sign-ups, Parents As Teachers (PAT) sign-ups, and tables for community organizations such as Marcy’s Project and the Children’s Division Prevention Unit. Families needing transportation assistance can email Immunization.clinic@fhsdschools.org to see available assistance. If the student is under the age of 18, a parent or guardian needs to be present.
