Indiana law now requires all children entering school to now have five D.P.T. shots, four for polio, two M.M.R. shots, three doses of Hepatitis B vaccine, and two doses of Hepatitis A vaccine before entering school.
All kindergarten and first grade students are required to have two chickenpox shots or a history of having had the disease.
