If your child is currently in 6th grade, and will be entering 7th grade next school year, Ohio law requires all incoming 7th grade students to have the Tdap and Meningitis vaccine prior to the beginning of the 2016-17 school year. Your child may go through your own healthcare provider or through the Licking County Health Department. As your child receives the vaccines, please send a copy to his/her school so that the school may update student records. If you have additional questions, please review this letter for more information.
