Thousands of school students in Seattle have been warned by the city’s public schools that they will not be allowed to attend school after Christmas break unless they get in compliance with Washington’s new vaccine laws.

Seattle Public Schools posted a notice on Dec. 20 telling parents that their children must meet a Jan. 8 deadline to ensure student records reflect “updated immunization status,” otherwise students “cannot attend school.”
