12th Grade Immunization

As of January 11, 2017, the IDPH has completed the administrative rules process to require meningococcal vaccine for students enrolling in 7th and 12th grades for the upcoming 2020-2021 school year.  

12th- It will  require all incoming 12th grade students, born after September 15, 1999, to have received 2 doses of Meningococcal (A,C,W,Y) vaccine BEFORE the start of the 2020-2021 school year. (only 1 dose needed if students received the first dose after the age of 16.) No immunization provisional will be given.  Please bring the updated ‘Certificate of Immunization’ to the school office or at fall registration after completed. 

How to get your child’s Immunizations Completed

If you have health insurance that covers immunizations, please contact your child’s medical provider.  Some clinics require a student to have a yearly physical done before receiving immunizations, so plan accordingly.  If you have Medicaid insurance, do not have insurance, or your health insurance does not cover vaccines, you can bring your child to a Community Health Partners community immunization clinic where vaccines are offered on a donation basis.
