Fall 2010 Immunization Update:  Parents of children entering kindergarten or 7th grade will need to show proof that their child has either received two chickenpox (varicella) shots or has had the disease (beginning in September 2010 the disease needs to be documented by a health provider), or show proof of declining the immunization by filing an exemption.  Please see the MDH (Minnesota Department of Health) website http://www.health.state.mn.us/immunize for more information.
