Immunisations needed pre move

Help!

My husband and I plus our 2 children (aged 6 and 7 and will be attending US public school) will be moving to Chicago in February. I can't find an online resource that clarifies which additional (to UK) jabs we will need for Illinois - the children have had their chicken pox immunisations but I'm confused as to if they need Hepatitis B shots for Illinois as well.

Any help much appreciated

Thank you! I had found this but was confused about the Hepatitis B requirements.

When we knew we were moving to Pennsylvania with school aged children we started the course of hepatitis vaccinations for them in the UK at our GP and they received the final (third) vaccination in the USA. They were able to start school with just 2 vaccinations but had to have the third within a year of the first in order to remain in school.
