NEW VACCINE REQUIREMENTS: Starting July 1, 2018, the state of Kentucky will be requir-
ing all students in kindergarten through grade twelve to provide proof of having re-
ceived two doses of hepatitis A vaccine. Since the minimum spacing between the two
doses is six months, families are asked to complete the following steps as soon as possible
to ensure that their child is compliant with this new regulation prior to the beginning of
the new school year on August 15, 2018:
1. Consult with your child’s healthcare provider to ensure that these vaccines have been
given to your child, or make an appointment to begin the
vaccination series.
2. Obtain an updated Kentucky Immunization Certificate from your provider.
3. Turn in a copy of a current Immunization Certificate to your child’s school.
Also new for the 2018-19 school year, all students age 16 years or older are required to
show proof of having received two doses of meningococcal ACWY vaccine. To ensure
compliance:
1. Consult with your child’s healthcare provider to ensure that these vaccines have
been given to your child, or make an appointment for your child to receive the vac-
cine(s). If your child has not previously received a dose of the vaccine and is age 16
or older, only one dose is required.
2. Obtain an updated Kentucky Immunization Certificate from your provider.
3. Turn in a copy of a current Immunization Certificate to your child’s school.
