Vaccines for School
Per the Ohio Revised Code and the Ohio Department of Health, proof of required school vaccines (preschool through 8th grade) must be submitted to the school by the 15th day of each school year. This year, vaccines must be submitted by 9/11/2024. The groups that are typically in need of vaccines for school are:
- New students
- Tk or kindergarten students (updated "5 year" or "kindergarten" vaccines)
- 7th grade students (updated vaccines meningococcal and Tdap)
Most students have already received these vaccines, but the school must also have "proof' of those vaccines. If your child is missing proof of vaccines, the school nurse will reach out to you. Please make sure to respond as soon as possible. Proof of vaccine may be your child's vaccine record from the provider or the attached form (Section II) completed and signed by the provider.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
