Required Immunizations for Kindergarten!
This is a reminder for those students who will be entering Kindergarten next school year (SY 2020-2021); boosters are required for Kindergarten attendance. Make sure your child has received their 4-6 YO boosters of:
· DTaP
· Polio (IVP)
· MMR
· Varicella
·
Some children may need a second dose of Hepatitis A if they have not had two doses.
Check your child’s immunization record to see if they have received a dose of these immunizations after their 4th birthday. If they have not, now is a good time to update your child’s immunization record to get ready for Kindergarten. Once your child receives these boosters, send me a copy of the immunization record so that I can update these in our database. Remember, these updated shots will be required for school registration. Preregistration will be here before you know it! If your child has not received their Flu shot, it is not too late to get them vaccinated against the Flu.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you are unsure about the immunizations your child will need. Your pediatrician should also have this information in their records. I have immunization resources that provide free or reduced cost immunizations for children. Contact me at 469-752-4209 or laura.case@pisd.edu if you would like additional information about these resources.
