In North Carolina, vaccination records are checked when a child is enrolled in a child care facility or school. Children are not allowed to attend school (whether public, private or religious) or a child care facility unless they have received all required immunizations appropriate for their age.

Immunization Requirement Links:

• Child Care Entry

• Kindergarten, 7th grade, and 12 grade Entry

• College/University Entry

Certain exemptions to North Carolina’s Immunization Law are allowed. 

For more information on vaccinations please contact your school nurse or Swain County Health Department.
