Like you, SEMIC wants all of those in our community up-to-date on the recommended vaccines.
State law requires each child to be up-to-date for vaccines for school entry. Sometimes vaccines are given too early. They are given before a child is old enough or they are given too soon after an earlier dose. Their body fails to see the vaccine dose. As a result, the vaccine dose does not work. It does not give immune protection. It is important for these invalid vaccine doses to be repeated. These will protect the child and permit the child to attend school.
We will support your school nurse, your county’s public health service, and your health care provider in making sure your child gets valid doses of vaccine that work.
