Seniors - Class of 2021 - Immunization Requirement update
Starting in the 2020-2021 school year, a booster dose of Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine (MCV) is required for all students entering 12th grade. Students must be up to date on required immunizations.
Students have 30 calendar days from their first day of school to provide documentation of compliance. If not in compliance with the immunization or health assessment laws after 30 days, students will be excluded.
Parents of rising seniors must contact their child's health care provider or call Mecklenburg County Health Department at (704) 336-6500 for immunization clinic appointments.
Now is the time to prepare for next school year, especially for students entering Kindergarten, grades 7 and 12. Please make a note of this new requirement for rising seniors.
