Mount Rogers Health District Announces Upcoming School Vaccination Clinics for Bristol City and Washington County
BRISTOL, Va. – As the 2025-2026 school year approaches, the Bristol City and Washington County Health Departments wants to remind parents and guardians that vaccinations are required for all students. A list of required vaccinations can be found here.

Don’t wait—make a plan to get your child vaccinated now so they can start school on time.”
