7th Grade Immunization Guidelines

The Ohio Department of Health School Immunization Requirements have been revised to include one dose of Meningococcal (MCV4) vaccine to be administered before a student enters the seventh grade. Therefore, sixth graders will need to show proof of having received the Meningococcal (MC4V) vaccine before they can return to school in the fall.

Seventh graders also require a dose of Tdap. This dose is intended to be administered as a booster dose for students who have completed the required doses of the initial series of Tdap/DT/Td.

Summer break provides you with ample time to have your child immunized before the coming school year begins. Please contact your physician or health department to schedule an appointment.

The required form is included in the Infinite Campus Annual Update.

12th Grade Immunization Guidelines

The Ohio Department of Health School Immunization Requirements have been revised to include two (2) doses of Meningococcal (MCV4) vaccine to be administered before a student enters the twelfth grade. If the first dose of MCV4 was administered on or after the 16th birthday a second dose is not required.

Summer break provides you with ample time to have your child immunized before the coming school year begins. Please contact your physician or health department to schedule an appointment.
