Immunizations for Parents
Alaska State Law requires that schools receive a current copy of every child’s immunization record PRIOR to the first day of school.
These shots should include:
4 or 5 DtaP, depending on spacing and age
3 or 4 Polio, depending on age
3 Hepatitis B
2 Hepatitis A
2 MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella)
2 Varicella (Chicken Pox) required for grades K through 6 only
The school nurse will review your child’s record to determine what, if any, immunizations are needed.
To attend school, children must be appropriately immunized, or have a valid medical or religious exemption on file. We strictly enforce a “No Shots – No School” policy in accordance with state regulations.
