Student Immunizations

Proof of completed PA State Mandated Immunizations are required before a child may attend school. PA State Law states, “that a child may not be admitted to school without proof of these immunizations.”

All Children must have the following Immunizations:

• 4 doses of tetanus  (1 dose on or after the 4^th birthday)
• 4 doses of diphtheria (1 dose on or after the 4^th birthday)
• 4 doses of polio
• 2 doses of measles
• 2 doses of mumps
• 1 dose of rubella (German measles)
• 3 doses of hepatitis B
• 2 doses of varicella (chickenpox) vaccine or history of disease

Children entering 7^thgrade need the following:

• 1 dose of tetanus, diphtheria, accellular pertussis (Tdap)
• 1 dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV or Menactra)

Students who are exempt from immunization due to medical contraindications must present written confirmation from their private physician to the school.  A religious or moral basis for a child not to be immunized is not recognized as an exemption.
