10th grade students,

Thank you for your attention to this important update. The nurse wants to share information about the MCV4 (meningitis) vaccine requirement for 11th grade.

• Eligibility for the 2nd MCV4 is tied to your child’s 16th birthday.
• If your student IS 16 years old now and has not received the 2nd MCV4, their immunization record is EXPIRED.
• If your student has not yet turned 16, their record is UP TO DATE.

What this means for 11th grade attendance:

• If your record is EXPIRED: You will not receive your student’s schedule for next year until the vaccine is documented. Please make an appointment now to avoid delays; Contact your doctor's office ASAP, also the Health Department is offering walk-in appointments.
• If your record is UP TO DATE now but your student will turn 16 BEFORE school starts: You MUST get the vaccine before school begins. Schedule the appointment for the day or so after their 16th birthday.
• If your student turns 16 AFTER school starts: You have 30 days from their birthday to get the vaccine and submit documentation to the school. Again, plan the appointment for just after their 16th birthday.
• * If your student turns 16 during the 2 prior weeks before school starts, you have 30 days from their birthday to get the vaccine and submit documentation to the school.

If you have ANY QUESTIONS, please contact me at 912-267-4210, x 3189.

Thank you for your cooperation.
