Texas Tribune Publishes Searchable 2025-26 School Vaccine Rates as Exemptions Rise Statewide
3 articles · Updated · The Texas Tribune · Jul 2
Summary
2025-26 Texas school vaccination data is now searchable through the Texas Tribune, drawing together state-reported rates for required kindergarten and 7th-grade immunizations.
Statewide, exemptions for conscientious or religious reasons increased in the past school year, while coverage rates for students up to date on shots varied by vaccine.
Kindergarten vaccination rates in Texas and nationally have fallen in recent years from pre-COVID-19 levels as exemption rates climbed.
Campus-level rates can differ sharply from district averages, especially in districts with multiple elementary schools, and some districts provide school-by-school data.
