Vaccination Reminder 

As the new year begins and parents make appointments for their children’s annual checkups please keep in mind all students entering the 12th grade are required to provide proof of receiving the meningitis vaccination. Any student 16 or older can get the vaccination. The student does not need to be a junior.

Ohio Revised Code states all pupils 12th grade are required to be vaccinated against meningococcal disease. The meningococcal vaccine protects against the meningococcal disease, which can cause an infection of the bloodstream or meningitis, or both, and can be life threatening if not promptly treated. The meningococcal vaccine is very effective at protecting against four strains of the meningococcal bacteria. Ohio mandate states: One dose of meningococcal vaccine is required prior to entry into the seventh grade; A second dose of meningococcal vaccine is required prior to entry into the 12th grade. The second dose must be administered on or after the 16th birthday with at least eight weeks between the first and second dose. If the first dose of meningococcal vaccine was administered after the 16th birthday, a second dose is not required.
