Parents of students entering Kindergarten in Colorado will need to be sure their student is up-to-date with their required immunizations.

Each Kindergartner must show proof of:

5 Diphtheria/Tetanus/Pertussis doses (1 more than for preschool)

4 Polio doses (1 more than for preschool)

2 Measles/Mumps/Rubella doses (1 more than for preschool)

2 Varicella (Chickenpox) doses (1 more than for preschool)

3 Hepatitis B doses (same as for preschool)

It is the responsibility of the parents to provide an updated record of immunization to the school.

It continues to be a rule, that if a child has had chickenpox disease, a laboratory test showing immunity or a documented disease history from a health care provider is acceptable.

If you do not wish your child to have any of these vaccines for personal or religious reasons, please sign a waiver that is available in the Health Room of your child’s school or at this link.

A medical exemption must be signed by a physician.
