(Mass Dept. of Public Health)The following immunizations are required for school attendance:
Please send completed Immunization form to the nurse's office prior to the start of schoo. The only exception to the above is an exemption based on medical reasons or religious beliefs. In order to do this, the Request for Exemption of Immunizations form must be completed and returned to the nurse's office.
Failure to provide the school nurse with documentation of these immunizations is cause for exclusion from school. A copy of your child's immunization record will be sent to you upon graduation. Most colleges will require this information prior to allowing the student to attend classes. It is suggested that you keep this record or a copy of it, in your family health file for future reference.Recommended Immunizations: The following immunizations are recommended for all school aged children by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) located in Atlanta, Georgia:
3 doses of HPV (Human Papillomavirus) for all females beginning at age 11-12
1 dose of Meningitis vaccine at age 11-12
