New Chickenpox Vaccine Requirement for High School Students this Fall OLYMPIA -- Parents of Washington high schoolers may be surprised to hear about a new
chickenpox (varicella) vaccine requirement in the coming school year In the 2016-17 school
year all public and private high school students will be required to get two doses of the
chickenpox vaccine before they enter school
Parents are encouraged to get their teens vaccinated soon to avoid a last minute rush before the
start of school
People may consider chickenpox a routine and mild childhood illness however it is a very
contagious disease that spreads quickly and causes an itchy rash fever and sometimes serious
illness People infected with chickenpox are at risk for developing shingles a painful skin rash
later in life Chickenpox is transmitted through the air by coughing and sneezing or by touching
chickenpox blisters
ldquoChickenpox is a preventable disease that can be particularly dangerous for kids with weakened
immune systems If all students are up-to-date with two doses of the chickenpox vaccine they
can start the school year protectedrdquo says State Health Officer Dr Kathy Lofy
Students are not required to be vaccinated if they already had two doses of the vaccine have had
chickenpox in the past or have had a blood test showing they are immune
Parents can make sure all their students are ready to enter school by making appointments with
their healthcare provider now If a student needs two doses of the chickenpox vaccine they need
to wait one month between each dose
New Vaccine Requirement March 3 2016 Page 2
ldquoParents can be prepared ahead of time by getting their children up-to-date on the new
chickenpox vaccine requirements and all other required vaccines nowrdquo said Lofy
The Department of Health local health departments and schools are working together to make
sure all students especially high schoolers are up-to-date with current vaccine requirements
before school starts in the fall
Information and frequently asked questions about the new chickenpox vaccine requirements are
available on DOHrsquos website Parents can also learn more about all vaccine requirements for the
2016-17 school year
Parents can receive no-cost vaccines for all kids up to 19-years-old through health care providers
participating in the statersquos Childhood Vaccine Program Participating providers may charge for
the office visit and an administration fee to give the vaccine People who canrsquot afford the
administration fee can ask for it to be waived
For help finding a health care provider or an immunization clinic call your local health agency
or the WithinReach Family Health Hotline at 1-800-322-2588

New Chickenpox Vaccine Requirement for High School Students this Fall OLYMPIA -- Parents of Washington high schoolers may be surprised to hear about a new
chickenpox (varicella) vaccine requirement in the coming school year In the 2016-17 school
year all public and private high school students will be required to get two doses of the
chickenpox vaccine before they enter school
Parents are encouraged to get their teens vaccinated soon to avoid a last minute rush before the
start of school
People may consider chickenpox a routine and mild childhood illness however it is a very
contagious disease that spreads quickly and causes an itchy rash fever and sometimes serious
illness People infected with chickenpox are at risk for developing shingles a painful skin rash
later in life Chickenpox is transmitted through the air by coughing and sneezing or by touching
chickenpox blisters
ldquoChickenpox is a preventable disease that can be particularly dangerous for kids with weakened
immune systems If all students are up-to-date with two doses of the chickenpox vaccine they
can start the school year protectedrdquo says State Health Officer Dr Kathy Lofy
Students are not required to be vaccinated if they already had two doses of the vaccine have had
chickenpox in the past or have had a blood test showing they are immune
Parents can make sure all their students are ready to enter school by making appointments with
their healthcare provider now If a student needs two doses of the chickenpox vaccine they need
to wait one month between each dose
New Vaccine Requirement March 3 2016 Page 2
ldquoParents can be prepared ahead of time by getting their children up-to-date on the new
chickenpox vaccine requirements and all other required vaccines nowrdquo said Lofy
The Department of Health local health departments and schools are working together to make
sure all students especially high schoolers are up-to-date with current vaccine requirements
before school starts in the fall
Information and frequently asked questions about the new chickenpox vaccine requirements are
available on DOHrsquos website Parents can also learn more about all vaccine requirements for the
2016-17 school year
Parents can receive no-cost vaccines for all kids up to 19-years-old through health care providers
participating in the statersquos Childhood Vaccine Program Participating providers may charge for
the office visit and an administration fee to give the vaccine People who canrsquot afford the
administration fee can ask for it to be waived
For help finding a health care provider or an immunization clinic call your local health agency
or the WithinReach Family Health Hotline at 1-800-322-2588
The Department of Health website is your source for a healthy dose of information Also find us

year all public and private high school students will be required to get two doses of the
chickenpox vaccine before they enter school
Parents are encouraged to get their teens vaccinated soon to avoid a last minute rush before the

contagious disease that spreads quickly and causes an itchy rash fever and sometimes serious
illness People infected with chickenpox are at risk for developing shingles a painful skin rash
later in life Chickenpox is transmitted through the air by coughing and sneezing or by touching
chickenpox blisters
ldquoChickenpox is a preventable disease that can be particularly dangerous for kids with weakened
immune systems If all students are up-to-date with two doses of the chickenpox vaccine they
can start the school year protectedrdquo says State Health Officer Dr Kathy Lofy
Students are not required to be vaccinated if they already had two doses of the vaccine have had
chickenpox in the past or have had a blood test showing they are immune

their healthcare provider now If a student needs two doses of the chickenpox vaccine they need
to wait one month between each dose

New Chickenpox Vaccine Requirement for High School Students this Fall OLYMPIA -- Parents of Washington high schoolers may be surprised to hear about a new
chickenpox (varicella) vaccine requirement in the coming school year In the 2016-17 school
year all public and private high school students will be required to get two doses of the
chickenpox vaccine before they enter school
Parents are encouraged to get their teens vaccinated soon to avoid a last minute rush before the
start of school
People may consider chickenpox a routine and mild childhood illness however it is a very
contagious disease that spreads quickly and causes an itchy rash fever and sometimes serious
illness People infected with chickenpox are at risk for developing shingles a painful skin rash
later in life Chickenpox is transmitted through the air by coughing and sneezing or by touching
chickenpox blisters
ldquoChickenpox is a preventable disease that can be particularly dangerous for kids with weakened
immune systems If all students are up-to-date with two doses of the chickenpox vaccine they
can start the school year protectedrdquo says State Health Officer Dr Kathy Lofy
Students are not required to be vaccinated if they already had two doses of the vaccine have had
chickenpox in the past or have had a blood test showing they are immune
Parents can make sure all their students are ready to enter school by making appointments with
their healthcare provider now If a student needs two doses of the chickenpox vaccine they need
to wait one month between each dose
