Parent/Guardian of Rising 12th Grade Students,
This is a reminder that all students entering 12th grade need to have a second meningococcal vaccination.
Please contact your son/daughter’s health care provider and make an appointment as soon as possible to receive the meningo vaccine. Documentation of the meningo booster vaccination will be required within the first 30 days of next school year.
This booster dose is typically given on/after the 16th birthday, so some students have already received it. If you are unsure if your child has received the booster dose of the meningococcal vaccine, please contact your health care provider or your student’s school nurse.
If your child does not have a primary care provider, vaccinations may also be received at the Franklin County Health Department. Please call - 919-496-2533.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and please email me with any questions you may have.
Thank you!
Jessica Huffman, School Nurse
