WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — The Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County is encouraging parents to make sure their children’s immunizations are up to date now for the upcoming school year.

According to DOH, proof of certain immunizations, on a #680 form, is required for school entry if your child is entering kindergarten, seventh grade or is moving to Florida from another state or country.

Parents without a pediatrician, or those with questions, should call 561-625- 5180 to schedule an appointment.
