Immunization Requirements and Information
-
State Law (MS 121A.15) requires all students in public schools be fully immunized or have a notarized statement exempting them from immunizations while enrolled in school.
All students new to Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) must bring their immunization record or exemption record to school upon enrollment.
Vaccinations given on time throughout childhood are essential to helping provide immunity to children before they are exposed to potentially life-threatening diseases. Vaccines are tested to ensure that they are safe and effective for children.
