Immunization Information: (FOUND DIRECTLY OFF tn.gov) The Tennessee Department of Health has new rules for immunization requirements in child care, pre-school, school, and college. Visit Tennessee Department of Health for more information at http://tn.gov/health/section/immunization-program.
Children enrolling in child care facilities, pre-school, pre-Kindergarten: Infants entering child care facilities must be up to date at the time of enrollment and are required to provide an updated certificate after completing all of the required vaccines due no later than 18 months of age. Hepatitis B (HBV) Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis (DTaP, or DT if appropriate) Poliomyelitis (IPV or OPV) Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) - age younger than 5 years only Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) - age younger than 5 years only Measles, Mumps, Rubella - 1 dose of each, normally given together as MMR Varicella - 1 dose or credible history of disease Hepatitis A - 1 dose, required by 18 months of age or older Children enrolling in Kindergarten: Hepatitis B (HBV) Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis (DTaP, or DT if appropriate) Poliomyelitis (IPV or OPV) - final dose on or after the 4th birthday Measles, Mumps, Rubella - 2 doses of each, usually given together as MMR Varicella - 2 doses or credible history of disease Hepatitis A - total of 2 doses, spaced at least 6 - 18 months apart All children entering 7th grade (including currently enrolled students): Tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis booster (Tdap) - evidence of one Tdap dose given any time before 7th grade entry is required regardless of Td history Varicella - 2 doses or credible history of disease Children who are new enrollees in a TN school in grades other than Kindergarten: Hepatitis B (HBV) Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis (DTaP, or DT if appropriate) Poliomyelitis (IPV or OPV - final dose on or after the 4th birthday Measles, Mumps, Rubella - 2 doses of each, normally given together as MMR Varicella - 2 doses or credible history of disease New students entering grades other than 7th grade are not required to have Tdap Children with Medical or Religious Exemption to Requirements: Medical - Physicians (MD or DO) or Public Health Nurses are authorized to indicate specific vaccines medically exempted (because of risk of harm) on the certificate. Other vaccines remain required. The medical reason for the exemption does not need to be provided. Religious - This exemption requires a signed statement by the parent/guardian that vaccination conflicts with their religious tenets or practices. If the child needs documentation of a health examination for the school, it must be noted by the healthcare provider on the immunization certificate. In that case, the provider should check the box in section 1a. that the parent has sought a religious exemption to explain why immunization information is absent or incomplete.
Full-Time Tennessee College Students: Measles, Mumps, Rubella (2 doses of each, usually given together as MMR): if born on or after January 1, 1957 only. Varicella (2 doses or history of disease): if born on or after January 1, 1980 only, Effective (July 1, 2011) Hepatitis B (HBV)-only for health science students expected to have patient contact (before patient contact begins) Effective (July 1, 2011) Students should also consider the need for the Meningococcal vaccine, particularly if the student will be living in a dormitory.
Sevierville Relocation & Community Resource Guide:
Minimal Ages or Dose Intervals: Tennessee follows published CDC guidelines. For vaccines with critical minimum age requirements (e.g., MMR, varicella) or minimum dose intervals, doses are considered valid if given up to 4 days before the minimum age or dose interval. Doses administered more than 4 days early are considered invalid and should be repeated as recommended. Alternative Proof of Immunity for Certain Diseases: A positive serology (year of test documented) is acceptable as an alternative to immunization for measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis A, hepatitis B or varicella. For varicella, documentation of provider diagnosed varicella or provider-verified credible history of disease given by a parent or guardian also is acceptable. By documenting a history of disease, the provider is asserting that he or she is convinced that the child has had chickenpox.
