Immunization Requirements:

According to recent NY State Law, all students entering 7th and 12th grades  will be required to receive the Meningococcal Meningitis vaccine. The ACIP recommends that all adolescents receive a 1st dose of the vaccine at 11-12 years of age, and a booster dose at age 16 years. If the 1st dose was administered on or after the 16th birthday, a booster dose is not necessary. Please check with your child's pediatrician to be sure that this requirement has been met.
