Prince George's Schools Hope for Immunization Compliance
posted 6:14 am Mon August 20, 2007 - Upper Marlboro, MD.
Health officials have run about 45 immunization clinics since June.
But they won't know until students arrive Monday how many have met the vaccination requirements.
Maryland requires students in grades six through 10 to receive shots for chickenpox and hepatitis B. Those without proper vaccinations will have 20 days to comply.
District spokesman John White says there were about 1,000 kids out of compliance at the end of last year.

Eboy--the point is if you want to send your kids to school they MUST get vaccinations. If you don't want them to get the shots then home school.
