IMMUNIZATIONS

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.

Immunization Resources

The Student Immunization Law requires that all students through grade 12 meet a minimum number of required immunizations prior to school entrance. These requirements can be waived only for health, religious or personal conviction reasons. To remain compliant with the law, please provide the month, day and year that your child received the required immunization(s) on the student immunization record or select one of the waiver options. Please return the form to your child’s school health room prior to the 30th day of school. 

If your child is entering Kindergarten or 6th grade please review the Student Immunization Law Age/Grade Requirements to ensure they are up to date on their immunization requirements.
