What do I need to do to make sure that my child has the immunizations necessary to enroll in school?

All children need to have an up-to-date copy of immunization records to be enrolled in, and to attend, school. If your child’s immunizations need to be updated and you can bring written proof of an appointment within 20 days to obtain the immunizations, you may temporarily enroll your child pending receipt of the required immunizations. Your doctor or health clinic can provide the DHMH 896 Form, or a computer-generated form, for you to take to the school. [DHMH 896 FORM – PDF]
