Immunization – What your child needs for school entry

Vision, hearing, scoliosis, and growth and development screenings are completed annually for required grades with follow up. In addition, inschool vaccinations clinics are offered for 6th graders to ensure compliance with the state's requirement.

Before entering or attending school from kindergarten through twelfth grade, each child must provide a Florida Certification of Immunization (DH 680 form) to the school.

Florida Department of Health in Osceola County offers immunizations for children 2 months old – 18 years old at no cost. Don’t wait until the last minute!

Your child’s immunization schedule is an extremely important healthcare measure that should be kept up-to-date. Vaccines have contributed to a significant reduction in many childhood diseases, such as diphtheria, polio, measles, and whooping cough. It is now rare for American children to experience the devastating effects of these illnesses.

Las muertes infantiles debidas a enfermedades infantiles casi han desaparecido en los Estados Unidos y otros países con alta cobertura de vacunación. Pero los gérmenes que causan enfermedades prevenibles por vacunación y la muerte todavía existen, y pueden transmitirse a personas que no están protegidas por las vacunas.

School Health services provided are: nursing assessments, health counseling, referrals and follow-up for suspected or confirmed health problems; individualized health care plan development; in-school care management for chronic and acute health conditions; assistance with medication administration and health care procedures.
