Best Answer

The hepatitis vaccine consists of more than one dose. If your child did not receive the second and third in the series of vaccinations, it may be wise to revaccinate. There is no risk in revaccination. If you have your child's vaccination records, I recommend consulting a physician or the school nurse for further advice. Hepatitis B vaccinations are generally thought to last 20 years or more, when delivered correctly.

Why is vaccination against many childhood illnesses a legal requirement for entry into public schools?

Vaccinations are necessary for students to attend public school because if enough kids are unvaccinated, then all of these preventable (and deadly) diseases can spread among the children and the adults at home. This is a public health issue and having children vaccinated for school is the responsible thing to do (both for the child and socially).


Is it legal for a private school which is not subject to FERPA nor HIPAA to share medical records among families to share which children have not been fully vaccinated?

No, it is not right and it is illegal.A little more...Actually, you're presenting a rather difficult question. Under the Privacy Rule, I am not convinced the school is not actually a Covered Entity in that providing vaccination is a provider's job. There's no precedent set on this at this time (2012 June). I think the school would be well-advised to consider themselves as bound by HIPAA in this instance.
