Introduction

This document provides an overview of the vaccines

required to aend schools in Washington state and the

vaccines that children, from birth to age 17, typically

receive in Ukraine. In addion to comparisons between

the schedules, this document provides examples of what

vaccine records may look like when wrien in Ukrainian

and Russian. When assessing a child’s immunizaon record

to aend school in Washington state, presume that the

child has not received the vaccine in queson, unless the

parent presents a record.

When requesng immunizaon records from parents or

guardians, it is important to note that Ukraine does not

issue a naonal immunizaon card, and vaccine records

vary by clinic and year of vaccine administraon. When

asking families to provide immunizaon records, be ready

to review records on dierent types of forms, either

printed or handwrien. Many records will be provided on

forms created by the hospital or clinic where the vaccine

was received.

You may also be presented with a medical book, which

is a record maintained for children, documenng their

medical history and vaccinaons (many adults connue to

keep these for themselves as well). Vaccine informaon

is typically recorded on the rst few pages of the book

and is usually handwrien. Parents and guardians living

in Ukraine may choose to keep these books or have their

provider’s oce keep them.

Guidelines for Review

When reviewing vaccine records, keep the following

in mind:

• Avoid confusing month and day. Ukraine uses the same

calendar as the United States, but dates are generally

recorded using the European format of DD/MM/YY.

• Review both the original vaccine record and the

translaon (if available), to ensure general consistency;

for example, name, date of birth, and total number of

vaccines.

• If a translaon is not available, reference the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevenon’s (CDC) Pink Book

for generally used terms for vaccines in Ukrainian or use

a reputable translaon service. See Pink Book Appendix

B: Vaccines.

• If a vaccine record is not available, reference this CDC

guidance: Approaches to evaluaon and vaccinaon of

persons vaccinated outside the United States who have

no (or quesonable) vaccinaon records.*

More informaon about childhood vaccinaon in Ukraine

can be found on the Ministry of Health Ukraine and WHO

websites. Please note that older children and adults may

have received dierent vaccines. For informaon about

CDC refugee immunizaon guidance, please visit the ACIP

Washington State Condional Status Catch-Up

Schedule for Age 4 Years and Older

Children can enter and stay in school or child care in condional status if they are catching up on the vaccines required

to document immunity. Condional status allows a child to aend school or child care while waing for their next

vaccine dose according to the naonal immunizaon catch-up schedule. When the child’s next vaccine dose comes due,

they have 30 calendar days to turn in documentaon showing their vaccinaon. If a child is catching up on mulple

vaccines, condional status connues in a similar manner unl all of the vaccines needed to document full immunity are

completed.

Before aending in condional status, a child must have at least the rst dose of the vaccine series. Addionally, the

child can’t be currently due for any addional doses. Condional aendance is conngent upon documentaon of the

remaining required immunizaons as shown in the melines below.

Ukrainian Vaccination Record Examples

As noted in the introducon to this document, Ukraine does not maintain standardized immunizaon records, or issue

a naonal immunizaon card. Records vary by locaon, administraon meframe, and provider. You may be presented

with immunizaon records in dierent formats, which include vaccines recorded in a medical book (gure 1) or in

an immunizaon form (gure 2). In the following examples from dierent providers, an individual’s records may be

handwrien and include lifelong medical records.

Figure 1. Medical book example. Immunizaon records can be found on the rst few pages. This book it handwrien

and contains lifelong records.

Vaccine Records: Visual Comparison Guide

COVID-19

COVID-19 vaccinaon is required for people from Ukraine ages 6 months and older to enter the United States. In some

cases, vaccine informaon may be a handwrien record, or the individual may have received a printed COVID-19

cercate. See gures 4 and 5 below for examples.

Figure 5. Ukrainian internaonal vaccinaon cercate.

Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis

The roune schedule for pertussis vaccinaon in Ukraine includes four doses of the DTaP vaccine administered between

2 and 18 months. This is followed by one dose of DT vaccine at 6 and one dose of TD at age 16.

Children arriving in the United States who were vaccinated on this schedule will need an addional DTaP (ages 4 - 6) or

Tdap (age 7+) if they have received pertussis vaccine at age 4 or aer. Children who receive a Tdap at ages 7 - 9 sll need

another Tdap at age 11. See the Washington State Department of Health Individual Vaccine Requirements Summary for

more informaon.

Haemophilus Inuenzae Type B (Hib)

Ukraine’s immunizaon schedule for Hib is consistent with the U.S. schedule. Record of vaccinaon can be wrien in

English, as an abbreviaon, or with the enre word wrien out.

Hepatitis A and B

Similar to Washington state requirements for aending school and child care, hepas A vaccinaon is not required in

Ukraine, so it is rare to nd records containing an example of hepas A vaccinaon. Hepas B vaccinaon is required

in Ukraine, although not many people receive it. Ukraine’s schedule is consistent with the U.S. schedule with regard to

hepas B vaccinaon. Note that you may see hepas B vaccine wrien in dierent ways, including in English.

HPV

Similar to Washington state requirements for aending school and child care, HPV vaccinaon is not required in Ukraine,

but individuals can choose to be vaccinated.

Inuenza

Like Washington state requirements for aending school and child care, inuenza vaccinaon is not required in Ukraine,

but individuals can choose to be vaccinated.

Meningococcal

Meningococcal ACWY vaccine is not required in Ukraine or for aending school in Washington state, but individuals can

choose to be vaccinated. Please see the vaccinaon schedules for dierences in administraon.

Polio

Ukraine’s immunizaon schedule for poliomyelis requires inacvated polio vaccine (IPV) for the rst two doses, with

one dose at 2 months and a second at 4 months, followed by either IPV or oral polio vaccine (OPV) for the remaining four

doses. (See the Ukraine vaccine schedule in this document for addional guidance.) The U.S. schedule recommends that

children receive four doses by the age of 6 years, and it is a requirement for entering child care and school in Washington

state.

Polio Vaccines Given on or After April 1, 2016

Note that any OPV given on or aer April 1, 2016, is not accepted in the United States. To determine which OPV vaccines

may be accepted and determine addional doses needed, see Guidance for Assessment of Poliovirus Vaccinaon

Status and Vaccinaon of Children Who Have Received Poliovirus Vaccine Outside the United States. Children may need

addional doses of IPV to complete the polio series to meet requirements for aendance in Washington state schools.

Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG)

BCG vaccine is given as a single dose at 3-5 days old in Ukraine. This vaccine is not required for aendance in Washington

state schools, so these notes can be disregarded when found within an immunizaon record. It is included here for

reference only.

Varicella (Chickenpox)

Ukraine’s immunizaon schedule does not include varicella vaccinaon. Children who have not received vaccinaon for

chickenpox need to receive this vaccine to meet Washington state school and child care requirements.

Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV)

Ukraine’s immunizaon schedule does not include PCV. Children younger than 5 years who have not received their PCV

vaccine series need to receive this series to meet Washington state school and child care requirements.
