Title: Discuss the school vaccination requirements in your state. Which vaccines are available that are no Post by: Paula4205 on Jan 29, 2018 Discuss the school vaccination requirements in your state of Florida. Which vaccines are available that are not required? Why are they not required? How does your state differ from other states? Have there been any recent changes in vaccination requirements? How do students feel about the possibility of including the HPV vaccine as a requirement for school? What are the pros and cons?

(Children entering, attending, or transferring to Florida schools) - Four or five doses of DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis) - Four or five doses of IPV (Polio vaccine) - Two doses of MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) - Three doses of Hep B (Hepatitis B) - One Tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) - Two doses of Varicella (kindergarten effective with 2008–2009 school year, then an additional grade is added each year thereafter). Varicella vaccine is not required if there is a history of varicella disease documented by the health care provider. http://www.floridahealth.gov/programs-and-services/immunization/children-and-adolescents/school-immunization-requirements/index.html Quote How do students feel about the possibility of including the HPV vaccine as a requirement for school? What are the pros and cons? Students who are sexually active see it as beneficial because HPV is a highly common sexually transmitted disease. One issue with it is that it only protects against certain strains of the virus, and NOT the strain that causes genital warts. This means that you're largely unprotected by many virulent strains of the virus even if your are vaccinated. |
