Ohio gives families just 14 days from enrollment to submit immunization records — one of the tightest windows in the country. This page covers the exact records Ohio law requires, how to pull them from Impact SIIS, and the 7th- and 12th-grade checkpoints families need to plan for.

Under Ohio Revised Code §3313.671, every child attending an Ohio school must have proof of immunization on file. Ohio requires dated dose records for each of the following vaccine groups:
All grades — K through 12 entry:
7th grade checkpoint:
12th grade checkpoint:
Impact SIIS (Ohio's State Immunization Information System) stores immunization records reported by providers across the state. Contact your pediatrician or local health department to request a printout — this is the fastest way to get an official, comprehensive record of every documented dose.

If Impact SIIS is missing doses — common if your child received vaccinations at a pharmacy, urgent care, or out of state — bring whatever records you have to your pediatrician. They can update Impact SIIS with verified doses and provide a signed record listing each vaccine with the month, day, and year of administration.
If your child was vaccinated outside Ohio, bring the original documentation to an Ohio-licensed provider. The provider reviews dose dates, enters valid doses into Impact SIIS, and generates a record that meets Ohio school requirements. Foreign-language records may need translation before the provider can verify dose dates.
Ohio's 14-day rule means records must be on file within 14 calendar days of the student's first day. Don't wait until the first week of school — have records ready before enrollment to avoid the 14-day clock entirely.

Ohio law gives students 14 days from the date of first attendance to submit immunization documentation. After 14 days, the school is required to exclude the student until records are received.

Ohio's 14-day window is short. Assembling records before the school year starts — not during the first two weeks — is the safest approach.
Every person gets one health story, and one private Family Stork email address every clinic already knows how to use. Give that address to your pediatrician, your county health department, or your school nurse — they send records to it, and the immunization history builds itself into one timeline.
When Ohio schools ask for immunization records within 14 days of enrollment — or at the 7th-grade Tdap/MenACWY checkpoint — the dose dates are already filed. No calling Impact SIIS, no hunting for the paper card, no scrambling before the clock runs out.
