With the school year just around the corner, the Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH) is offering a one-stop shop for required entry/registration forms.
The two-week event will take place Monday, July 29 through Friday, Aug. 9 at the MSDH Office of Vital Records in Ridgeland and allows parents to get a copy of their child’s Form 121 (shot record) if the child is up to date on immunization requirements, as well as their birth certificate. Both documents are required before school entry.
During the one-stop shop event, a child’s Form 121 will be available for free. It can also be printed through MyIRMobile.com. A new birth certificate will cost $17 with additional certified copies available for $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 immunizations for 7th-grade entry.
The MSDH Office of Vital Records is located off Highland Colony in Ridgeland at 222 Marketridge Drive. For more information on immunization requirements or exemptions for school entry, click here.
