Indiana’s immunization requirements are listed in the links below. Students entering kindergarten, 6th grade and 12th grade have additional vaccinations needed. Families are encouraged to contact their family doctor as soon as possible to see what vaccinations are needed and make an appointment. Beginning the process of immunizations is important since any child who needs their Hepatitis A vaccinations will need to have two doses spaced six months apart. Mooresville's deadline for vaccinations is on September 1, 2023.
Franciscan Health will host a vaccination clinic at MHS on Saturday, July 29, from 9am to noon for any child in need of required immunizations, including meningitis, tetanus, pertussis, and other childhood vaccines as needed by age. Please RSVP by calling 317-528-6374 so they can ensure enough vaccine is available for all ages. Families who would like for their child to have a COVID-19 vaccination may schedule that as well. Please view the vaccination consent form and information.
Indiana Code states a document of immunizations must be provided to the school upon enrollment which shows the child has received at least the minimum number of doses for his/her age. A child may not be permitted to attend beyond the first day of school if this requirement is not met unless:
- the school grants a waiver that may not exceed twenty (20) days; or
- it has been determined there are extreme circumstances and the parent shall furnish a written statement and a time schedule approved by a physician or the local health department for the completion of the remainder of the immunizations; or
- a medical or religious exemption is signed and on file with the school and renewed yearly.
