Maryland State law requires that students entering public
schools for the first time must have a physical exam. The physical
exam must be done by a physician or nurse practitioner, 9 months
before entry or 6 months after entering a Maryland Public school.
Maryland law requires schools to obtain proof of immunizations
in order for children to attend school.
A list of the current requirements can be found at
