Important Immunization Requirements for 2022-2023 7th Grade Students

Tue, 06/28/2022 - 4:01pm

Effective the first day of school for the 2022-2023 school year, 1 dose of Tdap vaccine and 1 dose of Meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) are required by the state of Maryland for all students entering grade 7. Many students may have already received these immunizations, but the Health Room may not have the updated immunization record.

Please contact your student’s doctor and send or fax an updated copy of your student’s immunizations to the Health Room or schedule an appointment to have your student receive these immunizations. Our fax number is (410) 313-5029. The Health Department provides immunization opportunities for kids who are not up-to-date on school-required vaccinations. Call the Health Department at 410-313-7500 to schedule a vaccination appointment for your child.

If you have further questions, please email Mrs. Tracy Jerone, our School Nurse, at tracy_jerome@hcpss.org.
