Important Information for Parents with Children Entering 12th Grade
Immunization Requirements for School Entry Beginning July 1, 2020
Students entering 12th grade must have vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to protect them from serious diseases.
Students entering 12th grade must have a second dose of the Meningococcal vaccine that guards against meningitis.
Thanks to the success of vaccines, we don’t see this disease very often; but, it still exists and can cause serious illness, disabilities and even death. Don’t let your child go unprotected. Vaccines are safe and effective. The most common side effects are pain and swelling at the site where the shot was given. Some people may have a headache and fever. Serious reactions to vaccines are very rare.
Talk with your child’s doctor or the local health department about vaccines they may need to be protected and for school entry. This is a great chance to get your child to the doctor for a yearly health care visit.
Your child will have to provide proof of vaccination on the first day of school. Please remember to bring your child’s shot record for school entry. You can get your child’s shot record from his/her doctor or the local health department.
To learn more about vaccines and the diseases they prevent, visit the CDC website at www.cdc.gov/vaccines or the North Carolina Immunization Branch website at www.immunize.nc.gov.
