Indiana immunization requirements for the 2024-2025 school year are set by the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH). These requirements are designed to protect children from vaccine-preventable diseases and ensure a safe and healthy learning environment.
The ISDH requires all children entering kindergarten or first grade to be immunized against the following diseases: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, varicella, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Children entering grades 6-12 must also be immunized against meningococcal disease. Exemptions to these requirements are available for medical reasons or religious objections.
