IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS
2009-2010

All students attending Indiana public schools are required by law (P.L. 103, 150 and 205) to be immunized against diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, measles, rubella, poliomyelitis, mumps and Hepatitis B and varicella. Measles, rubella and mumps MUST be given on or after the child’s first birthday.

All students, Grades K-12, are required to have the following immunizations: 
5 DPT, 4 Polio, 2 MMR, 3 Hepatitis B, 1 varicella.

These requirements are necessary because of the continuing outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases which occur among students. The ONLY exception to these requirements are children for whom the vaccines are medically contraindicated or children whose parents have filed a written statement of religious objection. All exemptions must be renewed with the school YEARLY.

Indiana Code 20-34-4-5: (c) A child may not be permitted to attend school beyond the first day of school without furnishing proof of immunization or complying with the rules for immunization exemption as stated above.

Parents are required to submit a written statement of their child’s immunizations complete with month, day and year given and signed by the physician, or provide a medical record with dates of the immunizations to the school.
