• All 7th grade students must show proof of both a second dose of measles/mumps/rubella (given at least one month after the first dose) and a tetanus/diphtheria booster given at or after 11 years of age (unless one was given at age 7-10, in which case a booster will be required at the usual 10 year interval). Starting the fall of 2009, two doses of varicella vaccine will also be required.

• All Kindergarten students must show proof of all immunizations and preschool screening to enter kindergarten. Starting the fall of 2009, two doses of varicella vaccine are required to attend school.

• No student will be allowed to start school in the fall without documentation signed by the physician or parent/guardian giving the month/ day /year of the vaccinations.

• We encourage you to make an appointment now and turn in the dates to your school when the vaccinations have been completed.

• A physical exam before 7th grade is highly recommended, but not required.

• Immunizations can be received from your personal physician or the Hennepin County Community Health Department. For information and dates of immunization clinics, call 612-348-2884.
