Immunizations

Your child needs shots for the 2022-2023 school year.

• Around the country, there are more cases of preventable diseases because parents are choosing not to get their kids immunized against preventable diseases.
• These diseases can spread easily in schools, but the good news is that vaccines are a safe and effective way of protecting your child.

• Your child must be up-to-date on their shots to attend school. Your child must have at least one dose of all the required vaccinations – or the school can exclude them from attending.
• If your child isn’t up-to-date on their shots, you’ll have five days from the start of school to get the next required dose and provide a medical plan to get fully up-to-date (a medical plan looks like this).
• Work with your doctor to schedule the shots that your child needs to attend school. 

• See if your child has the shots they need to attend school.
• Provide a certificate of immunization.
• Schedule any shots that your child still needs.

Your child can still attend school if they’re not up-to-date on their shots, but they’ll need to provide a plan for when they’ll get the next dose of their required shots. Work with your doctor to schedule a plan.
