Revised the Code of State Regulations, Immunization Requirements for School Children and Day Care Immunication
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services recently revised the Code of State Regulations, Immunization Requirements for School Children, 19 CSR 20-28.010, and Day Care Immunization Rule, 19 CSR 20-28.040. These rules establish the minimum immunization requirements for children enrolled in Missouri public, private, and parochial schools, day cares, preschools, or nursery schools. Effective beginning the 2010-2011 school year the following new requirements will be implemented:

Second dose of varicella (chickenpox) vaccine for all children entering kindergarten. If the kindergarten child has had varicella (chickenpox) disease, a licensed doctor of medicine (MD) or doctor of osteopathy (DO) may sign and place on file with the school a written statement documenting the month and year of previous varicella (chickenpox) disease as satisfactory evidence of having had the disease. Parental or guardian statements of disease will no longer be accepted beginning with the 2010-2011 school year for children entering kindergarten. This rule change applies to children entering kindergarten and thereafter. For children enrolled in grades one (1) through five (5), only one dose of varicella (chickenpox) vaccine is required. Parental or guardian statements of disease continue to be acceptable.
Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccine will be required for all incoming eighth (8th) grade students if the child has completed the recommended childhood DTaP/DTP vaccination series and has not received a Td booster within the past two (2) years. For children enrolled in grades nine (9) through twelve (12) who have not received a single dose of Td, it is highly recommended they receive a single dose of Tdap as their catch-up booster instead of Td or receive one dose of Tdap two years after the last Td dose.
