Students are coming to school with two doses of the Varicella immunization. Are two doses required for school attendance?
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends two doses and most young students will have two Varicella vaccines listed on their immunization record, but only one dose is required for school attendance in New York State. School nurses should record all vaccinations reported to the school by the private healthcare provider, whether the immunization was required or not.
