Vaccination Requirements for Students Entering 12th Grade
The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) updated the School Immunization Requirements for students who will be in 12th grade. If your child is an incoming senior, he/she will need to receive  ONE OR TWO  doses of the meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) prior to the beginning of the 2019-20 school year.
The ODH is requiring a meningococcal vaccine to protect your child against meningococcal disease which is a serious life threatening vaccine-preventable infection. This bacterial infection can cause an inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord or sepsis (an infection of the bloodstream). Approximately 1,000 cases of meningococcal disease occur in the United States each year. The bacteria are spread by exchanging respiratory and throat secretions during close or lengthy contact. 
Click here  for information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 
Vaccines can be administered by your pediatrician or your county health department.
A copy of your child's immunization record or a signed note from the physician will suffice for the documentation which must include the day, month and year of the vaccine(s).
