Immunizations for Juniors
Parents/Guardians of current 11th grade students,
The State of Ohio law requires all students to have a Meningococcal ACWY (MCV4) vaccine before entering 12th grade or they will be withheld from school until the requirements are met. If your child has already had this vaccine, please disregard this message. If your child has not yet received this vaccine, or other school-required immunizations students can receive their immunizations at the Nationwide Children's Hospital School-Based Health Center. Click here to indicate your interest in your student receiving the immunization at the Nationwide Children's Hospital School Based Health Center and a member of their team will be in contact with you to schedule an appointment. Appointments can be conveniently scheduled during the school day during a time that limits an interruption to their learning. There are also times available outside of the school day and they will be open throughout the summer.
If you do not choose to participate in the immunization clinic please make sure your child receives their vaccines before next school year. You can visit the following locations to get the immunizations:
- Your child’s doctor/healthcare provider, call ahead for verification
- The Knox County Health Department Immunization Clinic, call (740) 399-8008 to make an appointment
- Local pharmacies often provide them for ages 13 and up, please be sure to call ahead for verification
There are two exemptions to the state law:
- If your child has a medical condition that prevents him or her from receiving the vaccine, a statement from the student’s health provider (Immunization Exemption Form) is required and must be provided to the school.
- If you object for good cause including religious reasons, fill out the Immunization Exemption Form by clicking the link or by stopping into the school office. The form must be signed by a parent/guardian and turned in to the school office.
