12TH GRADE IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENT
The PA Department of Health changed the school immunization regulations beginning in August 2017. The regulations are intended to ensure that children attending school are adequately protected against potential outbreaks of vaccine preventable disease. The new regulation starting in the 2018-2019 school year is that all 12th grade students have 2 doses of Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine (MCV). If your child has received one of the doses after his/her 16th birthday, then that will count. This is due by the first day of school and if it is not completed, your child will risk exclusion from school.
