As Hepatitis A outbreaks have seemed to be increasing over the past year, many education departments have been discussing the need for vaccinations prior to the school year. As of June 26th, Kentucky state legislature passed a new state regulation that kids must have the Hepatitis A vaccine before the start of the next school year. For many districts, that is around mid-August, however the Hepaitis A vaccine is administered in series of two doses at 6 months apart, so the very latest that parents can vaccinate their kids for the upcoming school year is in mid February. Even home schooled children must be vaccinated if they belong to any school club/sport/activity.
