In August of 2017, the PA Department of Health changed its immunization regulations to ensure that children attending school in the commonwealth are adequately protected against potential outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases.
A child must have required immunizations or risk exclusion from school.
A child may still obtain medical, religious or philosophical exemption from meeting the immunization requirements. Talk to your child's pediatrician or school nurse about the vaccines your child needs to attend school.
Please see the list below of required immunizations for the current school year.
