Prepare Your Student for the Upcoming Year: Back-to-School Immunizations

Between shopping for school supplies and enrolling in fall activities, the back-to-school season can be a hectic time for many families.

As parents set their students up for success academically and socially, it’s important they take steps to protect their health, too. Getting children vaccinated on the recommended schedule is the best way to keep them healthy and safe. Additionally, Missouri law requires students to be up-to-date on immunizations before the start of the school year.

Please see the chart below for information on immunization requirements for students entering Kindergarten, 8th and 12th grades. Students who are going into other grades but are behind on their immunizations will need to meet these requirements as well.
