All students are required to have certain immunizations (also known as vaccinations or shots) to attend school, as outlined by the Maryland Health Department. Schools must keep a record of every student's immunization record. 

If you have questions about your child's immunizations or if she or he needs updated immunizations, contact your child's doctor or visit a Health Department clinic. 

If your child's school has a health center, the staff there can also help you with immunizations.

In addition to all other age/grade level required immunizations
Students entering 7th grade for the 2023-2024 school year:

  • 1 dose of Meningococcal (MCV4) and

  • 1 dose of Tdap vaccine

In addition to all other age/grade level required immunizations
Students entering Kindergarten for the 2023-2024 school year will need:

  • 2 doses of Varicella vaccine
