Parents across the Rio Grande Valley are scrambling to meet new state vaccination guidelines for the 2009-2010 school year.

State guidelines have changes for the following vaccines:

• Hepatitis A
• Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)
• Maricella
• Tetanus, Diptheria & Acellular Pertusis (Tdap)

County clinics are reporting a "rush" of young patients receiving vaccinations.

The Texas Department of Health Services has created a list of requirements by school grade in English and Spanish.
