Vaccinate Before You Graduate Program

The Vaccinate Before You Graduate Program is an adolescent immunization "catch-up" program designed to ensure all Rhode Island students have a chance to be fully immunized against vaccine preventable diseases before high school graduation. Many adolescents have not received the full series of vaccinations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control, simply because some vaccines were not available as part of the routine schedule when they were children. Vaccinate Before You Graduate is offered at most high schools in Rhode Island. The Wellness Company administers vaccinations for students and coordinates all school clinics. Parents or students 18 or older may register online to schedule an appointment for an influenza shot.
