Immunization Information

Each year, the State of New Hampshire publishes an update of the public school immunization requirements (see the documents to the left or click on the blue text above to be brought to the NH School Immunization Page.). 

These immunizations are the required immunizations that all students in NH public schools are expected to have.

As the Dondero School Nurse, my job is to obtain a copy of your child's immunization record from their health care provider's office and keep it on file in their Student Health Record. 

In late fall, I am required to send a report to the State of New Hampshire regarding Immunization Requirement Compliance at Dondero.  I do not share names- just the number of students enrolled and the number of students in compliance with the requirements.

My goal is 100% COMPLIANCE

There are 4 ways for your child to be in compliance with the state requirements:

1. Provide me with a copy of the complete immunization record from their health care provider's office

OR

2. Provide me with a copy of their partial immunization record AND a note from their health care provider if they are unable to complete immunizations because of a medical problem (such as an allergy to an ingredient in the vaccine)

OR

3. Provide me with their partial immunization record (if they have any) AND the completed  Certificate of Religious Exemption (you can find the form on the bottom of this page).

OR

4. Provide me with their partial immunization record AND (if your child is on a catch-up schedule for immunizations) a note from their health care provider containing the appointment date for their next scheduled vaccination (don't forget to bring me the updated immunization record after they attend that appointment, please!)
