Required Vaccines
Whenever children are brought into group settings, there is a chance for diseases to spread. Students
must follow state vaccine laws in order to attend school. These laws are the minimum standard to help
prevent disease outbreaks in school settings. The best way to protect students in your care from other
serious diseases is to promote the recommended vaccination schedule at www.cdc.gov/vaccines.
Encourage parents to follow CDC’s recommended schedule; by doing so, school requirements will be met.
