All children entering 6th grade on or after July 1, 2007, are required to meet the following new requirements for immunizations.

1. Have 2 doses of MMR, OR 2 doses of Measles vaccine, 2 doses of Mumps vaccine, and 1 dose of Rubella vaccine OR laboratory proof of immunity.
2. Have 2 doses of Varicella (chicken pox) vaccine OR documentation of disease OR laboratory proof of immunity.

This is a change in the Varicella vaccine requirement. At the time the current 5th graders entered school only 1 dose of this vaccine was required. Please check with your health care provider to receive any needed vaccinations or to obtain an up to date Georgia Certificate of Immunization. (Form 3231).
