Important Vaccination Information

Since 1978, Michigan law has required children to be up-to-date with required immunizations ON or BEFORE the first day of school for entry into kindergarten and 7th grade, and for enrollment into a new school district, grades 1-12. If students do not have complete immunizations prior to the first day of school, they will be unable to begin school until the immunizations are completed.

The following circumstances allow a required vaccine to be waived or delayed:

• A valid medical contraindication exists, preventing the child from receiving the vaccine at this time. A medical waiver should be completed and signed by the child’s physician and should state the contraindication, vaccine involved, and time period during which the child is prevented from receiving the vaccine.
• The parents/caregivers have valid religious or philosophical beliefs which prevent receipt of a vaccination. Waivers should not be taken lightly. A child who is not fully vaccinated against vaccine-preventable diseases could be a risk to others and for contracting the disease. Appointments are required for waiver education by calling the Oakland County Health Nurse on Call at 1-800-848-5533.
• A child is not yet old enough to receive their vaccinations. For example, a child who is 4 years old when school begins and turns 5 on September 20. Once the child turns 5 and is eligible for those vaccines, it is required to complete them.

The good news is that Oakland County Health Division provides immunizations for all ages in their Southfield offices (27725 Greenfield Rd, Southfield, MI 48076) with no appointment needed. Families can call the Health Division at 248-424-7000 to learn more.

In addition to required immunizations, TK and Kindergarten students are also required to have vision, hearing and dental screenings prior to school starting. The Oakland County Health Division can also help families with these screenings if you need assistance. Families can call 248-424-7070 for vision and hearing screening assistance and 248-858-1306 for dental screening assistance. Families can also learn about all of the Oakland County Health Division services on their website.
