Beginning with the 2019-20 school year, the Illinois Department of Public Health requires those students entering into 12th grade to have two doses of meningococcal vaccine, unless the first dose was given after the age of 16 years. A letter was mailed to all incoming 12th grade students who are still missing the requirement. Incoming 6th grade students are required to have one dose. The vaccination needs to be done by the first day of the 2019-20 school year and medical verification given to the school. Within the Forms and Handouts section you will find a parental letter regarding this matter from the IDPH.
