The back to school health form event continues. The Mississippi Dept. of Health is hosting a one-stop curbside event that will provide required school entry/registration forms. This special event allows parents to get a copy of their child’s Form 121 (shot record), if the child is up-to-date on vaccination requirements. Birth certificates will be available at the same time and same place as well. Parents are asked to stay in their vehicle and call the designated number on the reserved parking sign. Please be aware that parking may be limited.
8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Monday, Aug 3rd – Friday, August 7
MSDH Office of Vital Records
222 Marketridge Drive, Ridgeland
(Off Highland Colony Parkway)
During this event, the child’s Form 121 will be available for free if the child is up-to-date on vaccination requirements. Birth certificates will be available the same day for $17; each additional certified copy is $6.
Mississippi state law requires children to be immunized against childhood diseases to enter public or private school, Head Start or daycare. There are also required vaccinations for first-time school entry in Mississippi as well as a requirement for 7th grade entry.
Parents must provide the school with a Certificate of Immunization Compliance (Form 121) from their immunization provider prior to school entry. The child’s birth certificate is also required for school registration.
Immunizations are available at county health departments by appointment.
