New Immunization Requirements For the 24-25 School Year
The Department of Health and Human Services has recently released new immunization requirements for the start of the 2024-25 school year.
Meningococcal ACWY vaccine
- Required for students beginning the 7th (one dose) and 12th (two doses) grades in the fall.
- 12th graders who received their first dose of a Meningococcal ACWY-containing vaccine at age 16 or older are only required to have one dose.
- Parents or adult students may either (1) provide proof of vaccination or (2) claim an exemption for medical, religious, or philosophical reasons. The attached form should be returned for either proof of vaccination or to claim an exemption. Please return the completed forms to your child’s school.
Please contact your child's practitioner with questions and for additional information about these new statewide requirements. See the attached link for the 2024-25 Immunization Form. Completed immunization forms can be returned to your child’s school either in person or by emailing to our district nurse.
Reminders
People heal faster when they rest and take care of themselves. When your student shares that they are not feeling well, please encourage them to stay home until they are feeling better.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your continued support in maintaining a safe and healthy school environment!
