Immunization requirements for the 2012-2013 school year
Summer is quickly passing us by; it will only be a few weeks until school is back in session. Now is the perfect time to think about the shots your student may need before they go back to school in the fall. Kindergarten or first-time first grade students, 6th grade students and college students may need immunizations before they can begin classes this fall. The Martin County Health Department conducts immunization clinics every Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. On the first Wednesday of each month the clinic remains open until 6 p.m. Please note that Wednesday is the only day a nurse is available for immunizations. The health department office is located in the Shoals Federal Building (Post Office).
The Martin County Health Department has a contract with a company called VaxCare which will enable them to vaccinate children who are covered by insurance that pays for vaccines. VaxCare will provide the department with vaccine and will bill the patient's insurance for the cost. The patient must bring their insurance card at every visit or no vaccines can be given on that day. The health department will continue to vaccinate children on Medicaid, the uninsured and those who have insurance that does not pay for vaccines through the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program. They also provide Tetanus vaccine; Hepatitis A and B vaccine and TB testing to those age 19 and older without insurance for a fee. Adults with insurance that will pay for vaccines may be able to receive certain vaccines and have VaxCare bill their insurance. If you need additional information or if you have questions, call 247-3303.
College students should receive information from their school concerning the required vaccines for incoming students. Most require a TB test within six months of the start of classes, a Tetanus booster (if the child has not received within the last 10 years). Also, proof of childhood vaccines for MMR and polio are often needed. The Hepatitis B series is recommended for students in health care fields or similar studies. The meningitis vaccine is recommended for students who will be living in dorms.
For children that will be attending kindergarten or first grade this fall (less than seven years of age) the immunization requirements are as follows:
-5 doses of DTaP, DTP, or pediatric diphtheria-tetanus vaccine (DT), or 4 doses are acceptable if the 4th dose was administered on or after the 4th birthday;
-4 doses of any combination of OPV or IPV by age 4-6, or 3 doses of all IPV or OPV are acceptable if the 3rd dose was administered on or after the 4th birthday;
-2 doses of MMR, measles, mumps and rubella (German Measles) vaccine on or after the first birthday;
-3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine, and
-2 doses of Varicella (Chicken Pox) on or after the first birthday or record of disease. Physician documentation of disease history, including month and year, is proof of immunity for children entering preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade. A signed statement from the parent/guardian indicating history of disease, including month and year is required for children in grades 2-12.
In addition to those immunizations required for kindergarten, 6th grade students are required to receive a Tdap (Tetanus and Pertussis) vaccine and a Meningococcal vaccine. Those 6th grade students who have not received a chickenpox booster shot will need to have it before the start of the school year.
