Vaccines Required for School

fcpsPlease make sure your child is not turned away the first days of school due to missing immunizations!

For the 2016-17 school year, students must have had:

  • 2 doses of Varicella vaccine for entry into kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade
  • 1 dose of Tdap vaccine for entry into 7th, 8th AND 9th grades
  • 1 dose of Meningococcal vaccine for entry into 7th, 8th AND 9th grades

Frederick Coutny Public Schools will EXCLUDE STUDENTS FROM ATTENDING THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL who do not have up-to-date immunizations unless they present evidence of an appointment for immunizations scheduled within the following 20 days.

Immunizations are available from your primary care provider, the Frederick County Health Department, or at several CVS Pharmacy Minute Clinics.

  1. Many children have already received these required vaccines during a well-child visit to their healthcare provider
  2. You can find out if your child had these vaccines by looking at the child’s vaccine record or checking with your healthcare provider.
  3. If you do not have a vaccination record for your child, you can do the following:
    1. If your child received vaccines at the Frederick County Health Department call 301-600-3342 to get a copy of the vaccine record
    2. If your child received vaccines through a healthcare provider, contact the healthcare provider for a copy of the vaccine record
  4. The Frederick County Health Department offers vaccinations by appointment on Wednesdays. To schedule an appointment call 301-600-3342.
  5. CVS Minute Clinics provide vaccinations on a walk-in basis. Please call 866-389-2727 for hours and locations near you.

Let’s have a great first day of school Monday, August 22!
