Texas schools are staying put on vaccine requirements for the 2026-2027 school year, despite federal turbulence that’s left parents confused. While the CDC recently tried to remove vaccines like rotavirus and COVID-19 from its list — and even split the MMR shot into three separate doses — a judge blocked those moves, and Texas hasn’t budged. With state lawmakers not meeting until January, any changes would require legislative action. Meanwhile, Texas’ easy exemption process sparks debate: advocates praise parental choice, while public health groups warn it could fuel preventable disease outbreaks as vaccination rates dip. For now, kids in Texas are still following last year’s schedule — but the national shuffle keeps everyone watching.
