The first day of school for students attending Prince Georges County Public Schools will be August 20, 2007.  Parents must have their children properly immunized before they are allowed to register.  Students entering kindergarten through 9 grade will need to be immunized for Hepatitis B vaccine and chicken pox. Proof of compliance should be documented on the Maryland Immunization Certificate Form #896 or a printout from a licensed doctor.  Free immunizations will be given by the county health department in July and the first two weeks in August. Call 301-583-3300 for more details.

Other Washington area school districts have similar requirements.  Baltimore City Public Schools will allow proof that an appointment with a doctor has been made and that all vaccinations will be completed within 20 days after schools has started. You may temporarily enroll your child pending receipt of the required immunizations.

To complete the information given above:  Religious exemptions are available.  For those not wanting to be "tested" to see if these vacinations really work.
