IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS
INCOMING 6TH GRADERS
The Wisconsin immunization law was changed in 2008. Two different vaccine requirements were added. Parents of incoming 6th grade students are required to have their children vaccinated or claim a waiver before the 2022-23 fall semester.
​
The requirements are:
-
1 dose of tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap).
-
2 doses of varicella (chickenpox) vaccine.
​
There are some exceptions to these requirements. If your child has already received any tetanus-containing vaccine within 5 years of September 1, 2012, a Tdap is not required. If your child has had chickenpox, the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine is not required.
Please be sure to inform the school office of the dates of any immunizations that your child receives. Please contact the school nurse if you have any questions.
