This is a chart of vaccinations that are required or recommended for K-12 students. Find your child's age or grade level and read across to the right. Has the child had the number of shots shown by the checkmark(s) under each vaccine? Each row is meant to be read separately, so don't add up the columns of checkmarks under each vaccine.

For information on exemptions due to medical reasons or the conscientious beliefs of the parent or guardian, please contact the school office.

For more information, call your doctor or clinic.
