There are a number of vaccines that students are required to get by law. Here's where you can find free clinics in Maryland ahead of the start of school.

WASHINGTON — If your child will be going into the seventh grade, you’ll need more than just pencils, pens and notebooks to go back to school.

Kids going into kindergarten, first, second and third grades need to show two doses of the varicella vaccine.

Kids going into seventh grade need to show proof of vaccination against Tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis (Tdap) and Meningococcal meningitis (MCV4) before the start of the school year.

Students will be excluded from attending school until they can provide documentation of the required Tdap and MCV vaccines throughout all of Maryland.

Below is where and when families can find free vaccination clinics.
