Re: Immunizations Requirements for the 2021-2022 School Year
Beginning September 1, 2021 no child will be permitted to attend school without evidence of immunization or proof of immunity against disease. Students enrolled in grades PreK through 12 are to be immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, polio and varicella. Additionally, all students enrolled in grades 7-12 must be immunized against meningococcal disease.
Since it takes time to complete the immunization series, this is the time to call your child’s primary care provider to set up a schedule to start receiving vaccines if your child is going to be able to attend the first day of school this fall. Your school nurse can let you know what immunizations they are missing for school compliance.
Thank you for your attention to this issue and we hope to see your child in school next fall.
Sincerely,
Caitlin Beardsley, RN
