The District of Columbia law requires that all students under age 26, enrolled in schools within the district, provide proof of having had the following immunizations:

• two vaccinations against Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR), given after 1 year of age and at least 30 days apart,
• one Diphtheria/Tetanus booster given within the past ten years,
• two doses of Varicella (Chicken Pox) vaccine 60 days apart or titer results indicating immunity,
  
• a series of three Hepatitis B immunizations administered over a 6 month period. The second dose should have been administered 30 days after dose one, and the third dose should have been administered 4 months after dose two.  Students who received the Hepatitis B vaccination under a different administration schedule should provide titer results proving immunity.
  
• Students residing on campus must also be immunized against meningocccal meningitis or sign a waiver stating that they are aware of the risks of meningitis and do not wish to be immunized against the disease.
  
• Students under the age of 18 must also show proof of being vaccinated against polio.
  

The mandatory immunization must be completed by your healthcare provider, and must have both the provider's signature and the office stamp.  Forms that are submitted and are incomplete may result in a delay in the student's registration for an upcoming semester.
