Escambia County Back To School Immunization Information

August 3, 2013

The Escambia County School District is reminding parents that students need to be up-to-date on their immunizations before the first day of school.

Before attending school in Florida, students enrolling in kindergarten through 12th grade are required to be current on all their immunizations. In addition, seventh grade students are required to have a Tdap booster vaccine before starting school on August 19.
