The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) mandates the immunizations necessary for students attending school in Ohio. The Meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) is a NEW required vaccine for all Ohio students entering the seventh and twelfth grade for the 2016-2017 school year. Written proof of the dates the vaccinations were administered is required by your child’s health care provider at the start of the 2016-2017 school year. Students without adequate proof of these vaccinations will be subject to exclusion. If you choose not to immunize your child, then an objection form must be completed. If you have any questions, please call the nurse supervisor at 576-4731 ext: 1351.
