IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS

Oklahoma law states that no minor child shall be admitted to any public, private or parochial school operation in Oklahoma unless the parent or guardian can present to the school authorities certification from a licensed physician or the public health authorities that such child has received the immunizations that are required by the State Board of Health.Immunizations may be obtained from local physicians or the Carter County Health Department. If the student's record has been lost, parents should contact the physician's office or Health Department where immunizations were received.Students following a medically approved schedule for completion of immunizations may be allowed to attend school, however, parents/guardians are required to present a schedule for completion of the required immunizations that has been signed by a licensed physician or public health authority.Many facilities have waiting lists. Be sure to make appointments so that your child may attend school.
