Immunizations
Iowa state law requires that all children who are enrolled in an elementary school or day care center must have completed the recommended program of immunization.

On the day of enrollment, parents must submit the necessary data to show that their child has completed his/her immunizations or qualifies for a provisional certificate (has received one dose of each of the above vaccines and is under medical care for completion of the necessary immunizations).

Medical and religious exemptions may be granted under certain conditions. The necessary forms for these exemptions and any further information may be obtained through your school, the Polk County Health Department, Iowa State Health Department or your physician's office.

If you have questions or concerns we recommend you contact your family physician, the Polk County Health Department or your school nurse.
