The State of Iowa has passed a new law requiring meningococcal (ACWY) vaccine for students entering grades 7 and 12 beginning in the 2017–2018 school year. UMS and UHS school nurses mailed letters home for those students entering grades 7 and 12 during the 2017–2018 school year who will need the vaccine before school starts.
