Solano County Public Health Offers a Day to Get Ready for Kindergarten in Fairfield

May 16, 2025

SOLANO COUNTY – Local health officials are urging parents and guardians to ensure children four to six (4–6) years of age are up to date on their vaccinations before entering kindergarten. To support this effort, Solano County Public Health is hosting a walk-in Kindergarten Round-Up (KRU) on May 22, 2025 at its Fairfield Pediatric clinic site. The KRU will give children entering kindergarten FREE vaccines and referrals for physicals. Solano County Health & Social Services is partnering with Partnership HealthPlan of California, First 5 Solano, and Aliados Health to host this event where partner agencies will hand out community resources, groceries, and school supplies. This collaborative effort ensures children can start kindergarten on time and have a successful start to their education. 

The KRU provides all school-entry immunizations for FREE in one convenient visit, helping families meet state health requirements while keeping children and classrooms safe. These shots protect against measles, mumps, polio, and whooping cough—illnesses that can spread quickly in school settings. To learn more about what vaccines your child needs before kindergarten please visit the CDPH website page Shots for School. Families of children who need school-entry physicals or routine well-child checks will be referred to Solano County Health & Social Services’ Family Health Services after vaccinations are complete. This referral will be made at the event. Please note: No screenings or physicals will be conducted on the day of the event.  

Required Vaccines for School Entry Include:

• DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis)
• IPV (Polio)
• MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
• Varicella (Chickenpox)
• Hepatitis B

No appointment is necessary to receive these FREE vaccines. Parents are encouraged to bring their child’s immunization records and insurance information, although no child will be turned away. This is a FREE, family-friendly event designed to make it easier for parents and guardians to keep children healthy and ready for school. We welcome all community members to stop by, get connected, and take advantage of these FREE services. The KRU is part of a broader campaign to raise awareness about the importance of childhood immunizations and routine check-up visits with a provider to make sure that children have a smooth transition entering school for the first time.
