§ DTaP, IPV, HBV, PCV, RV and Hib can be administered as early as 6 weeks of age and simultaneously.

† LOUISIANA STATE LAW requires prior to school entry: 2 doses of MMR, 3 Hepatitis B, 2 Varicella and booster doses of DTaP and Polio vaccines

on or after the 4th birthday and prior to school entry. A preschool dose is not necessary if the 4th dose of DTaP and the 3rd dose of IPV (provided it is

administered at least 6 months after dose 2) are administered after the 4th birthday. Sixth graders (11 -12 years of age) are required: 1 Tdap, 2 VAR, 2MMR, 3

HBV, 1 MCV. Entry for institutions of higher learning requires 2 doses of MMR, 1 Td/Tdap and 2 doses of MCV4 OR 1 dose, if first dose was given on or after age 16.

‡ Depending on the child’s age, choose the appropriate initial set of immunizations. Sometimes a scheduled dose of vaccine may not be given on time. If this occurs, the dose should be given at the next visit. It is not necessary to restart the series of any vaccine due to extended intervals between doses.

see Hib section ∞ see HPV section ◊ see PCV section

Adolescents and post adolescents (11-18 yrs.) should be vaccinated with a second dose of MMR, Varicella (if no history of disease) and Hepatitis B if no

history of previous vaccination.

Four Day Grace Period: All vaccine doses administered less than or equal to four days before the required minimum interval or age shall be considered valid doses

when evaluating a student record for compliance with immunization requirements for schools and child care entry. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) continues to recommend that vaccine doses not be given at intervals less than the minimum intervals or earlier than the minimum age.
