'No Shots, No School' Enforced at School District 622

The North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale School District is reminding familes to get their children up-to-date on the required shots before the school year begins. 

The District 622 has a “No Shots, No School” policy, which means that all students must have the proper immunizations, be a conscientious objector, or have a medical exemption before starting school.

Minnesota law and School Board policy requires written proof of scheduled shots for students in grades K-12. If a child has a medical reason, or if his or her parents are conscientiously opposed to any or all of the scheduled shots, a legal exemption is available. To file an exemption, you must complete a form, which is provided by the school district. The form is also available on the Minnesota Department of Health’s website.

The Minnesota Required Childhood Immunization Schedule can also be found at the MDH's website.

For more information, call your doctor, clinic or health plan. If you do not have insurance, or your insurance does not cover these immunizations, contact Washington County Public Health at 651-430-6655 or Ramsey County Public Health at 651-266-1234.

Washington County is for children and families who do not have health insurance.
