District 202 Health services welcomes you and your child as he/she begins high school!

The Illinois School Code Sec 27-8 requires all incoming high school students to have a health/physical examination with the required immunizations completed prior to the first day of school. Incoming freshmen must use the State of Illinois Certificate of Child Health Examination form, which also serves as their sports physical for their first year. The Illinois High School Athletic (IHSA) sports physical form CANNOT be accepted as the freshman physical.

• Immunizations must include:

  • Diphtheria/Pertussis/Tetanus (DPT/DTAP) – Three (3) or more doses, including a booster after the 4th birthday.

  • Tdap (Boostrix/Adacel) - One (1) dose of Tdap

  • Polio (OPV/IPV) – Three (3) or more doses including a booster after the 4th birthday.

  • Measles/Mumps/Rubella (MMR) – Two (2) doses on or after 1st birthday.  The first dose at 12 months of age or older and the second dose no less than four weeks (28 days) after the 1st dose.
