Making sure your child is immunized helps to keep him healthy, as well as other children attending his school. A list of state-required immunizations can be downloaded below.

 

Seventh Graders: The State of Ohio requires a booster dose of the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis) and the MCV4 (Meningococcal) vaccine. The Meningococcal vaccine is a new requirement for entry into the seventh grade.

Twelfth Graders:  The State of Ohio requires a second dose of the MCV4 (Meningococcal) vaccine for entry into the twelfth grade.

Once your child has received the required vaccinations, please provide a copy of the shot record to your school’s nurse. Feel free to contact the school nurse with any questions or concerns.
