To go to school in Minnesota, students must show they have had the required immunizations or file a legal exemption with the Licensed School Nurse.
Required Immunizations for Kindergarten Children:
5 DPT (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis)
4 polio
2 MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)
Hepatitis B Series
2 Varicella or documented history of disease
Parents may get a legal exemption from the school law for medical reasons or conscientiously held beliefs. Students not in compliance—i.e., their immunizations are not up-to-date—will be excluded from school.
The downloads below provide detailed information on required immunizations and a form for you to complete and return to your school.
