I don't have any kids in Florida schools but I just looked at the list of shots / vaccines required and was shocked. This is on the Florida schools website:
· - Four or five doses of DTaP
· - Four or five doses of IPV
· - Two doses of MMR
· - Three doses of Hep B
· - One Tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap)
· - Two doses of Varicella (kindergarten effective with 2008–2009 school year, then an additional grade is added each year thereafter). Varicella vaccine is not required if there is a history of varicella disease documented by the health care provider.
Wow, maybe the flu shot is not such a big deal then. I have no idea what most of that stuff is. I was shocked that kids have to go through such things just to enter Florida schools.
