State Immunization Requirements

A child will not be allowed to attend any school or child development program without a valid SC Certificate of Immunization or a medical, religious, or special exemption. Exemptions must be renewed annually. 

If your child does not have a valid certificate, take his/her shot records to your physician or your local county Health Department. A parent, or adult authorized by the parent, must accompany a student under 16 who requires shots. 

You can now easily request a copy of your child's immunization certificate online! Simply follow the detailed instructions provided by the Department of Public Health (DPH) to obtain your immunization record from the SIMON Portal.

For further information, call the school immunization coordinator Kim Morris, RN, at 864-577-1549, or click here for more information on the South Carolina Department of Public Health Vaccine Requirements.
