12th Grade Health Requirements

Spanish Version

District 202 Health Services welcomes you and your child as he/she begins senior year!

The Illinois School Code Sec 27-8 requires all 12th grade students to have two Meningococcal Conjugate (MCV4) vaccinations completed prior to the first day of school. The first MCV4 vaccine should have been received on or after your child’s 11th birthday. The second dose must be received on or after your child’s 16th birthday. If the first dose was received after the 16th birthday, then only one dose is required for 12th grade. The minimum interval between the two vaccines is 8 weeks.

Please note the Meningitis B vaccine does NOT satisfy this requirement. Your student must receive the Meningococcal Conjugate vaccine (MCV4) to comply with Illinois School Code.

Proof of vaccination must include your child’s name, vaccination administers, date given, and signature of the health care provider. Please submit all documents to the health office by October1st.

All paperwork is due to the health office by October 1st. Students not in compliance with the immunization/exam requirements by October 1st will be excluded from school until the required documentation is submitted to the health office.
