Children & Teen Immunizations
Children and teens in schools and childcare settings should be immunized to protect themselves and others from diseases such as measles, whooping cough, meningitis and chicken pox. North Carolina law requires all children in the state to receive certain immunizations for entry into North Carolina schools and child care facilities (NC LAW GS 130A 152). This includes specific requirements for starting kindergarten and 7th grade. Records are checked when your child enters school or child care.
- Immunization requirements for infants and toddlers in childcare
- Immunization requirements for children in NC schools grades K-12
Colleges and universities in North Carolina require students to update their immunizations as part of the registration process. Please check with your college or university regarding their requirements.
