New Student Requirements
School enrollment Immunization/Physical Requirements
School immunization requirements exist to protect students and members of the school community from serious vaccine-preventable diseases by ensuring high vaccination rates. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) outlines the required vaccines, and the Holbrook Public School nurses are responsible for ensuring compliance with the stated requirements.
Additionally, a complete physical examination, done by a licensed physician within one year of school entry, is required for all children entering Preschool, Kindergarten, Grade 4, and students new to the school system.

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) Immunization Division is committed to promoting the health of Massachusetts' residents by reducing the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases that affect the residents of the Commonwealth. As part of this effort, in 2011 the MDPH Immunization Division launched the Massachusetts Immunization Information System (MIIS). All providers who administer immunizations in Massachusetts are mandated to report immunization data to the MIIS. See below for more information.
