Immunizations

* DTaP/Td/Tdap 

Kindergarten or Grade 1: By the time children start school, they need 4 or 5 DTaP doses, depending on their age when they began the vaccination series. At least one dose must be given on or after their 4th birthday. 

Grades 2–6: A primary series means completing all the beginning doses of a vaccine. Children age 7 or older who are not up to date need to either finish their Td/Tdap vaccine series or show they have already had at least 3 total doses of DTaP, Td, or Tdap with one dose on or after the 4 birthday. Your health care provider can help your child get caught up by using the catch-up schedule. th 

Grades 7 and higher: Students must have one Tdap dose given at age 10 or older and show proof that they completed the primary series. 

Kindergarten through grade 12: 

MMR: Two doses of measles, mumps, and rubella. Varicella: One dose of varicella is required. Two doses are recommended by AAP, but not required for school attendance. 

Hep B: 3 doses or an approved two-dose series. 

Meningococcal: One dose of MenACWY is required for those ages 10 and older at grade 7 and higher. Doses of MenACWY given before age 10 would need to be repeated.
