Vaccination Requirements
-
Children entering school in the fall are required by Alabama Law to present a Certificate of Immunization,formerly known as a “Blue Card."
-
Children entering Kindergarten need boosters of DTaP, Polio, MMR and Varicella. These shots complete the childhood series for Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (DTap), Polio (IPV), Measles Mumps Rubella (MMR) and Varicella.
-
Children ages 10 and 11 entering the 6th grade need a Tdap vaccination. In addition, children in this age group are strongly recommended to receive HPV (a cancer-preventing vaccine) and MCV4 which protects against the most common types of meningitis.
If you are unsure if your child needs shots, check with your pediatric provider or the local County Health Department.
