Vaccine Requirements For Schoolchildren Vary By State.

reported that as the school year begins, parents are checking to make sure their children’s vaccines are up-to-date. However, this determination varies state by state. In California, for example, a kindergartner must have all doses of the DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, or whooping cough), varicella (chicken pox), polio and measles/mumps/rubella (MMR) vaccine series in addition to hepatitis B. On the other hand, in Oregon, children require the three-vaccination series in addition to two vaccinations against hepatitis A. Meanwhile, many pediatricians also recommend the HPV vaccine. http://health.usnews.com/health-news/articles/2015/08/21/start-of-school-year-calls-for-vaccine-check
