Note: A second dose of MenACWY-containing
vaccine should be administered between the
ages of 16 and 18 years to students who
received a first dose of MenACWY-containing
vaccine between the ages of 11 and 15 years. A
second dose is not required for students who
received their first dose of MenACWY-
containing vaccine at age 16 years or older.
Parental report of varicella
disease as an exception to
varicella vaccination is allowed.
Exceptions to the varicella
vaccine requirement will be
allowed only if the student has
had a case diagnosed by a
qualified health care provider.
This is required for admission to
child care centers and entry in
schools.
Verification of history or diagnosis of typical
disease can be provided by any qualified health
care provider (M.D., D.O., N.P, or P.A.). For
persons reporting a history of, or reporting with,
atypical or mild cases, assessment by a
physician or their designee is required for
school entry, and one of the following should be
sought: 1) an epidemiologic link to a typical
varicella case to a laboratory-confirmed case or
2) evidence of laboratory confirmation, if it was
performed at the time of acute disease. When
such documentation is lacking, persons should
not be considered as having a valid history of
disease because other diseases might mimic
mild atypical varicella.
