There is a new vaccination law that was recently passed in the state of Maine.  The state now requires all students in public school to have vaccinations or a plan with a physician to vaccinate, prior to the start of the 2021-22 school year. HERE is a link to the CDC's catch-up schedule for vaccinations.  From this site, you can search specific vaccines and find requirements by age.  Currently, the state of Maine requires immunization against:

  • Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis

  • Polio

  • Measles Mumps and Rubella

  • Varicella or proof of immunity (history of chickenpox)

  • Meningococcal (for 7th - 12th grade )

Our school nurse, Alison Thomson, will need a copy/verification of the immunizations or the plan from your physician or prior to the start of school. She can be reached via email at alison_thomson@yarmouthschools.org.
