Don't Wait. Vaccinate!

Pennsylvania school immunization regulations are changing, beginning August 2017. It is important for parents and guardians to be aware of these changes and take action as needed to ensure your child can be enrolled in and attend school in August 2017.

A child must have the required, medically-appropriate vaccines OR a plan in place to complete them OR risk exclusion from school. Our school nurses are working to notify families impacted by the changes to these laws. Contact your child's school nurse for more information.
