Immunizations

For the 2017-18 school year, the Pennsylvania Department of Health has changed immunization requirements for students. For Erie's Public Schools, all students must have mandatory immunizations and provide updated immunization records to their school nurse on or before the first day of school (August 28, 2017), or they will not be able to begin the school year.
