Immunizations/Sports Physicals Info

Don't forget CCSD requires children entering kindergarten and children entering sixth grade to get immunizations.

Here's what kindergarteners need:

• 3-5 DTaP
• 3-5 IPV
• 3 Hepatitis B
• Two doses of Measles vaccine, two doses of Mumps vaccine, one dose of Rubella vaccine OR lab proof of immunity against Measles, Mumps and Rubella
• Two doses of Varicella vaccine (chicken pox) or proof of immunity
• Two doses of Hepatitis A

Here's what kids entering sixth grade will need:

• Two doses of Measles vaccine, two doses of Mumps vaccine, one dose of Rubella vaccine OR lab proof of immunity against Measles, Mumps and Rubella
• Two doses of Varicella vaccine (chicken pox) or proof of immunity because when these children entered kindergarten only one dose of this vaccine was required.

Sports physicals can be done at your local primary care physician or local clinics and now even at Walgreens.
