NJ Immunization Requirements
Specific to pre-school: All students up to age 59 months attending pre-school must receive a flu vaccine between September 1 and December 31 of the current school year. Failure to show documentation of flu vaccination will necessitate the student being excluded from school beginning January 1 through the remainder of the flu season (March 31).
Flu vaccine information statement
Specific to Sixth grade students: The Department of Health and Senior Services adopted the following regulations which began September 1, 2008:
