Immunizations

Welcome to the Texas Immunization program webpage, your trusted resource for promoting and safeguarding public health through comprehensive vaccination initiatives across the Lone Star State.

The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) Immunization Section works to eliminate the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases. DSHS does this by increasing vaccination coverage for Texans, raising awareness of the diseases that vaccines prevent, sharing information about vaccine safety, and supporting providers to identify opportunities to improve vaccine uptake. DSHS maintains the Texas Immunization Registry (ImmTrac2), which provides access to immunization records. DSHS also manages the Texas Vaccines for Children and Adult Safety Net programs, which ensure that all Texans have access to vaccines, regardless of their ability to pay or insurance restrictions.
