Reminder: New School Vaccination Requirements

  • All Georgia students born on or after January 1, 2002, entering or transferring into seventh grade, and any new entrant into eighth through 12th grades must provide proof of adolescent pertussis (whooping cough) booster vaccination (Tdap) and an adolescent meningococcal vaccination (MCV4).
    More information on the MCV4 requirement for 11th grade.
  • Proof of both vaccinations must be documented on the Georgia Immunization Certificate (Form 3231).
  • If your preteen has not received the whooping cough booster shot or meningococcal vaccine, contact your doctor or county health department.
  • If your preteen does not have health insurance, or their health insurance does not cover costs for vaccines, ask your doctor or county health department nurse about the Vaccines for Children Program (VFC). To learn more, visit the CDC VFC Program page.
