Childhood Immunizations Required for School

The State of Ohio requires children to be immunized if they are enrolled in any daycare, preschool, Head Start, or in public or private school from kindergarten through 12^th grade. The immunizations required include the following:

	DTaP, DPT, DT, or Td vaccine (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis) 4 doses
	OPV, IPV (Polio) 4 doses total of either vaccine
	MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) 1st dose at 12 months and 2nd dose by Kindergarten.
	HIB (Haemophilus influenza b) 1-4 doses depending on age when child began series (for Child care/Head start and Pre-Schools) only
	HepB 3 doses for daycare entry and K-9.
	Varicella (Var) vaccine for Kindergarten school entry for 2008-2009 school year. If a child has had the chickenpox disease, the kindergarten student does not need the vaccine.

These are general requirements based on a child receiving all of their baby and childhood shots at the recommended times. Religious, medical, and philosophical exemptions to the immunization requirements are accepted by schools if properly documented. Please refer to the immunization schedule, listed on the Health Department's web page, to determine the recommended ages for receiving childhood immunizations. If you have questions about your child's immunization status you can contact one of the registered nurses at the Health Department and the your child's record will be reviewed at no cost.

All costs are based on a sliding-fee scale. Medical card accepted. No child refused shots due to inability to pay. We accept cash and checks only. We cannot bill private insurance.
