Childhood Immunizations - Seventh Grade Students

  • Each October, all public and private schools with a seventh grade are required to submit reports indicating the immunization status of their seventh grade students as required by section 1003.22, Florida Statutes, which provides for the requirement of proper documentation prior to entry into seventh grade.

    • Certificate of immunization (HRS 680-A-2) is issued when a booster dose of tetanus-diphtheria, a second dose of measles (preferably MMR) and three doses of hepatitis B are administered.
