IMMUNIZATION REGULATIONS

     The PADOH is mandating all PA schools exclude students whom have not met the immunization requirements by the first five days of school. Students who do not meet these requirements cannot attend school after August 28,2019. We do not want to have to exclude any students and are asking parents to please complete immunization requirements as soon as possible. Exemptions to immunizations such as medical, religious or philosophical reasons will still be accepted as long as it is presented in writing stating objection. Students exempt from immunizations, may be excluded from school during an outbreak. If a student is missing required doses, he/she must obtain the next or final dose within the first five days of school or will be excluded from school. If the requirements are not met, the school administrator shall not admit the child to school nor permit continued attendance.

The PA Department of Health requires students in all grades to have the following properly spaced immunizations for attendance in school:

• 4 doses of tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis *1 dose must be on/after 4^th birthday
• 4 doses of polio *3 doses if third dose is given on or after 4^thbirthday and at least 6 months after previous dose given.
• 2 doses of measles, mumps, rubella (MMR)
• 3 doses of Hepatitis B
• 2 doses of varicella (chicken pox) or evidence of immunity

On the first day of 7^th grade, the following additional immunizations are required: 

• 1 dose of tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap)
• 1 dose of meningococcal conjugate (MCV) 

 On the first day of 12^th grade, the following additional immunization is required:

• 1 additional dose of meningococcal conjugate (MCV) * If the dose was given at 16 years of age or older, only one dose is required. To be immunized for 12^th grade and college dose must be on or AFTER 16^th birthday.

 Questions may be directed to the Nurse at the building level your child attends.
