School District of Philadelphia Immunization Policy
Pennsylvania State law requires students to be fully immunized while in school. This means school-age children must receive certain shots in order to attend school. Students can be prevented from attending school if they do not have the shots they need. Making sure your child is up-to-date on his/her shots helps keep kids healthy and in school. Not vaccinating your child could lead to illness and disease outbreaks. Also, if your child is not immunized and there is an outbreak, your child will not be allowed to attend school until the outbreak clears (this could take weeks).
See the Center for Disease Control’s 2019 Recommendations for Child Immunizations. Also please see the School District of Philadelphia’s Student Health Services page.
