Effective July 1, 2018, proof of immunity to disease(s) can be accepted in place of vaccination if written proof from a healthcare provider stating that the student has previously contracted the disease is presented to the school.
Students in all grades (K through 12) must be immunized adequately according to Utah state guidelines. The timing and spacing of vaccine doses are important in the appropriate use of vaccines. Contact your child's health provider or the local health department if you have questions regarding your child's immunization status.
The local health department offers low cost vaccines if you have Medicaid, no insurance, or if you are unable to pay full price for them. Appointments for immunizations may be required at the health department.
