Why are vaccines required for child care and school?
Child care and school immunization laws exist to help keep kids safe. Vermont’s immunization requirements are important tools for maintaining high vaccination rates and preventing the spread of disease.
The requirements help to achieve community immunity, effectively limiting the spread of disease in a community when a high percentage of the population are immunized. Achieving and maintaining community immunity protects not only those who have been vaccinated, but also those with compromised or weak immune systems.

What if my child hasn’t had all of their required vaccines when the school year starts?
Children and students without all doses of required vaccines may be provisionally admitted without an exemption if the child has a scheduled appointment to receive the missing vaccines, consistent with the CDC's catch-up immunization schedule.
