School children and their parents are getting more time to comply with new state immunization requirements in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania health officials have extended the vaccination deadline until mid-May.

Kids who don't comply with the new vaccination rules may not be allowed to attended class.

The new state regulations took effect in August.

It requires all students to get a second dose of vaccines for mumps and chicken pox.

Students not in compliance when classes began last fall were given an eight-month grace period.

That grace period expires on Tuesday.
