The State of Maryland vaccine requirements for children states that children enrolled in school must provide evidence of having received mandated immunizations. The only exceptions are medical contraindications, religious exemptions or if a verifiable appointment is scheduled to receive required immunization(s) within 20 calendar days of enrollment.
Students who are Vaccine For Children (VFC) eligible may obtain immunizations at the School Health Services Immunization Center. Vaccines are free of charge, although an administration fee may be charged. Eligible students will receive the required vaccinations to enter school regardless of their ability to pay.
The SHSIC may refer families with additional health care needs to the Office of Eligibility and Support Services (OESS).
Children eligible to receive Vaccine for Children immunizations
include:
• Child is covered by Medical Assistance
• Child has health insurance that does not cover immunizations
Children with private health insurance or Care For Kids should schedule immunization appointments with their primary health care provider.
Enrolling students may also obtain a free skin test to screen for tuberculosis. Tuberculosis screening is recommended for students who enter MCPS from any country outside of the United States or those who have lived 12 months or more outside of the United States prior to enrolling.
