IMMUNIZATION INFORMATION
Immunization requirements for all grade levels (4K – 12) are specified on the Student Immunization Record. If you are uncertain of your child’s status, please consult with your health care provider, or you may view your child’s record on the Wisconsin Immunization Registry (WIR). This is a secured computerized system for tracking immunizations given by health care providers in WI. You will be asked for identifying data in order to access your child’s record. If you have difficulty, contact your health care provider to ensure that he/she has entered your child’s identifying data into the system.
Given the current environment and the COVID-19 global pandemic, it is critical to ensure all students are up to date on their vaccines. Immunizations, including the influenza vaccine this fall, is essential for protecting people and communities from vaccine-preventable diseases and outbreaks, and for reducing the burden of respiratory illness during the upcoming influenza season. If your child is entering Pre-K, Kindergarten and/or 6th grade – now is the time to make sure their immunizations are up-to-date.
Please note the waiver information under Step 4 on the Student Immunization Record form; if you choose to waive any immunization, please complete the information under Step 4 and return to the school office.
Since schools are required to review student immunizations annually, it is helpful if you complete the Student Immunization Record when your child receives new immunizations and return to the school office.
