Don't wait until August to schedule your rising 7th grade student's required vaccinations! Schedule vaccination appointments today and prepare your student to be able to start school on time next school year. Students without the appropriate documentation will not be able to start school on the first day of school.
Required Immunizations for ALL 7th-grade Students:
One dose of Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis) vaccine given at age 7 or older.
One dose of meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY, Menactra, or Menveo) given at age 10 or older. (Please Note: MenB, Bexsero, and Trumenba vaccines are not the same as MenACWY and will not be accepted in place of MenACWY. Please confirm with your medical provider that the appropriate vaccination is administered.)
Encouraged Immunization:
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. While the first dose of this two-dose vaccine must be administered before an adolescent’s 15th birthday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that the first dose be administered at the age of 11 or 12. While this vaccine is at the discretion of the parents/guardians, it is recommended. LCPS does not require opt-out documentation for the HPV vaccine.
Once your student has been immunized, provide proof of vaccination before the first day of school. See Immunization Requirements for more details.
