The Code of Virginia requires that children receive a comprehensive physical examination (§ 22.1-270) within 12 months before the start of school and be adequately immunized (§ 22.1-271.2) before entering public kindergarten or elementary school. No student shall be admitted by a school unless at the time of admission the student or his/her parent submits documentary proof of immunization on the Commonwealth of Virginia School Entrance Health Form to the admitting official of the school or unless the student is exempted from immunization for medical or religious reasons, the student is a homeless child or youth or the student is in foster care. See Regulation 723-6, Immunization Requirements for additional information.
