The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania School Immunization Law (Pa Code 23.83) requires children enrolled in school to provide evidence of proper immunization for certain diseases within the first 5 days of school.
Meningococcal conjugate (MenACWY) and tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) are required for entry into 7th grade. Please check your student’s Skyward account under Health info: Display options -> Show vaccinations to see if they have not received the required vaccines for entry into 7th grade. These vaccines may or may not have been given with the 6th grade physical, so please check with your child’s physician.
Proof of completion of administration of the series or a medical certificate documenting the next scheduled dose MUST be received by August 30, 2024 without exception or your child may not attend school after the said date. Please consult your physician.
