New Immunizations to be aware of for your student!
Parents and Guardians,
New regulations were passed in Kentucky that will require additional vaccinations for your student to attend school. The new law adds Hepatitis A and a second Meningococcal vaccine to the list of required immunizations. This new law goes into effect on July 1, 2018.
1) The Hepatitis A vaccination series is comprised of two vaccinations received 6-months apart. This vaccination series will be required for every student. The CDC has recommended this vaccination series for several years, so many children may have already received this two-dose series but since it was not a requirement for school attendance, it was not listed on most immunization certificates.
2) Another new immunization requirement is for students who are 16 years old and older. In addition to the Hepatitis A requirement (above), those students who are 16 or older will also be required to receive a second Meningococcal vaccine. The first Meningococcal vaccine was required between the ages of 11-12, upon entry into 6th grade.
A new immunization certificate will be required for every student at the beginning of the 2018-19 school year. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR CHILD'S PHYSICIAN TO DETERMINE WHAT YOUR STUDENT NEEDS TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT AND OBTAIN A NEW IMMUNIZATION CERTIFICATE.
Please visit www.shelby.kyschools.us for more information and to view the new documents.
NOTE: If you select to decline immunizations based on religious reasons, you will
also find the KY revised Declination to Immunization form to complete at the link above. Please review this document carefully as the requirements for completion have changed.
Thank you for your time and attention in making sure your child is meeting all of the vaccination requirements for school attendance.
Believe it or not...Some Summer Camp information!
