Immunization Update

Federal Vaccination Laws - No US federal vaccination laws exist, but all 50 states have laws requiring children attending public school to be vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (generally in a DTaP vaccine); polio (an IPV vaccine); measles and rubella (generally in an MMR vaccine); and varicella (chickenpox).

Sick Day Guidelines

A fever of 100.4 or higher
Has more than one episode of vomiting or diarrhea

1. Being tired
2. Lack of appetite
3. Frequently coughing or sneezing
