Part of the mission of the Ohio Department of Health is to ensure that all Ohio schools provide safe and healthy environments for students and staff alike. The Department of Health requires that all students be immunized before enrolling in school. Contact your child's healthcare provider to make sure your child’s vaccinations are up-to-date. A list of immunizations is available at https://www.gocruisers.org/HealthServices.aspx or https://odh.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/odh/know-our-programs/immunization/immunization.

Immunization Requirements for Incoming 7th and 12th Graders
A booster dose of the Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis) and MCV4 (Meningococcal) vaccine is required before entry into the seventh grade, and incoming twelfth graders must have a second dose of the MCV4 (Meningococcal) vaccine before returning to school. If your child has not had these immunizations, please contact your healthcare provider or the Franklin County Public Health Department by visiting http://www.myfcph.org/health-wellness/shots or by calling 614-525-3719. Childhood and adult immunization clinics are available through Franklin County Public Health Department. Appointments are required. For details and clinic locations, download the flyer below.
