Immunization Requirements

  • IMMUNIZATION REGULATIONS

    Pennsylvania school immunization regulations will change effective August 2017. These regulations are intended to ensure that children attending school in the Commonwealth of PA are adequately protected against potential outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases.
     
    Important Note:  Children must have all required immunizations by the start of the 2017-2018 school year or risk exclusion from school. A child may obtain a medical, religious or philosophical exemption from meeting the immunization requirements.  Please contact your child's school nurse if you would like to do this.  
     
    Parents and guardians will receive notification from the School Nurse if their child needs additional immunizations. If you have any questions, please contact your family physician or Mrs. Melinda Landis, SHS School Nurse, at melinda.landis@sycsd.org.
