School Nurse/Vaccines

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if a school nurse (LVN) has to give vaccines to the students? Ever since the covid vaccine came out, my whole view on vaccines changed. After doing research, I am against the covid vaccine and now other vaccines as well. I am interested in applying for a school nurse position but I would not want to be expected to give vaccines to the kids. I would appreciate any feedback.

In the 2 school districts I worked for we did not give any vaccines. We did assist the health tech with maintaining immunization records of the students. The RNs do health screenings like vision and hearing, the LVNs do the diabetic management, RNs and LVNs do trach care, gt care and feedings, and ostomy and cath care, and we do have medical classrm aides in one district where they are trained to also do TFs and ostomy care, and then lastly the health techs manage most of the day to day students who come to the office not feeling well.

You have so much staff!!  You must work for a large district.  My district has five RNs (one for each school) and that is all.
