Health Services

All students attending St. Michael the Archangel School must have received immunizations as mandated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Because regulations have changed over the past few years, read the following information to determine what the immunization requirements are for your child. Your child must have the updated required medically appropriate immunizations or a plan to complete those immunizations signed by the physician. If your child does not have proper documentation or a signed plan they are at risk of exclusion from school. If your child has already received the immunizations please provide documentation to the office.

If your child does not have the immunizations you need to have your primary care provider fill out and sign the Immunization Card/Medical Plan with the dates your child will be receiving the missing required immunizations. The proof of missing immunizations or the immunization card/medical plan must be submitted within the first 5 days of school.

Please keep in mind that if your child is missing any immunizations, they must receive the first dose before the first day of school or they will not be allowed to attend. At that time they will be considered a “provisional” student until all immunizations are completed.
