Vaccination Policy

The Granville Parent Cooperative Preschool does not accept religious or personal exemption claims for required immunizations in any registration application submitted requesting enrollment acceptance in any of our programs that require a health form.

All students and staff are required to have age-appropriate vaccines recommended by the Ohio Department of Health and the Center for Disease Control.

Required Vaccinations (from the Ohio Department of Health):

  • Chickenpox

  • Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (DTap, DT, DTP, Tdap)

  • Haemophilus influenzae type b

  • HepatitisA

  • HepatitisB

  • Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)

  • Pneumococcal disease

  • Poliomyelitis

  • Rotavirus

The number, timing, and spacing of the required vaccine doses is set by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Vaccine doses are only considered valid if administered according to the most recent version of the Recommended Immunization Schedules for Persons Aged 0 Through 18 Years or the Catch-up Immunization Schedule for Persons Aged 4 Months Through 18 Years Who Start Late or Who Are More Than 1 Month Behind, as published by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.

Exceptions:

If your child cannot get vaccines because of medical reasons, you must submit a properly completed and signed official Immunization Medical Exemption Form, signed by your child’s medical doctor, to the Granville Parent Cooperative Preschool Enrollment directors with your child’s application requesting enrollment. The Granville Parent Cooperative Preschool does not accept claims of religion or personal exemption for required immunizations.
