Click to see 2024-2025 Immunization Requirement for Students in Connecticut Schools

Per Connecticut State guidelines, students are required to have physical examinations in the following grades:

• Every year of Pre-K

• Kindergarten

• Seventh grade (To be completed after Jan. 1st of your child’s sixth grade year)

• Eleventh grade (To be completed after Jan. 1st of your child’s tenth grade year)

The “blue” State of Connecticut Health Assessment form must be completed by your child’s physician with all required immunization dates noted. The front of this form is to be completed by the students’ parent or legal guardian. Completed physicals should be given to your child’s school nurse. If parents/guardians need help in this area they are encouraged to contact the school nurse. Our school-based health centers may be able to complete your child’s physical.

There is no longer a religious exemption in CT for state-mandated immunizations. If your child has a medical contraindication to being immunized, your child’s physician will need to submit a medical exemption form from the CT Department of Public Health. Please contact the school nurse for further information.

Please call the nurse at your school with any questions or concerns.

It is advised to keep a copy of your child’s physical form and immunizations for your records!
