Vaccination Information

Student Immunization Law Age/Grade Requirements

Review all school requirements from WI DHS here!

Before vaccines, many children died from diseases that are now rare in the United States. Vaccines are our best protection against serious, sometimes deadly, diseases. To protect our children, Wisconsin law requires all students to do one of the following:

  • Show proof they got required vaccines.
  • Provide a waiver signed by a parent or guardian.

All schools, childcare centers, and other public health agencies must follow vaccine laws. We work together with these groups to protect the health of our children.

Please log on to your Infinite Campus Parent Portal to view your student's immunization records (select student's name at the top of the screen, then click on the health tab on the left side)! If there is a vaccination in RED, your child is not in compliance with the Wisconsin Student Immunization Law. Contact your child's physician, the school health office or bring in a copy of the vaccinations if you have them. If all vaccination lines are in GREEN, your student is compliant.

Influenza

Influenza is a contagious disease caused by influenza viruses that infect the respiratory tract (nose, throat, and lungs). It can cause mild to severe illness, sometimes leading to death. Influenza symptoms often begin suddenly, with fever, headache, tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, nasal congestion and body aches. The best way to prevent influenza is to get vaccinated each year.

Meningococcal Disease

Invasive meningococcal disease is an acute and serious infection caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitis. It can cause sepsis (bloodstream infection), meningitis (inflammation of the tissues that cover the brain and spinal cord), and pneumonia. Click here for more information. (WDHS)

HPV (Human Papillomavirus)

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a highly contagious infection that is very common in the United States, where an estimated 14 million people are newly infected each year. Over 120 types of HPV exist, of which 40 are known to cause infection. Certain HPV types can cause genital warts and cancers of the cervix, penis, vagina, anus, and oropharynx (throat). The HPV vaccine can prevent the risk of HPV-related health complications. Click here for more information on how to protect your student from certain cancers! (WDHS)
