Immunization Requirement for 2024-25 Grade 12 Students


Parents/Guardians of 2024-25 Grade 12 Students


 Hello. The Ohio Department of Health requires your child to receive new  immunizations prior to the start of 12th grade. Your child will be required to receive two doses of the MCV4 -meningococcal vaccine which must be administered prior to entry of school in the fall of 2024. One dose should have been received prior to 7th grade. 


We are encouraging you to schedule your appointment at this time to avoid the rush in the fall and your child’s exclusion. Failure to provide records will result in your child being excluded in the fall. Absences related to exclusion are unexcused. Please contact your child’s medical provider to schedule their immunizations. The Dayton Children’s Health and Wellness Clinic at Warner Middle School can provide your child’s immunizations at school. School transportation to the clinic can also be provided from Xenia High School. Please contact them at 937-641-4623 to schedule an appointment.  


If you would like more information or exemption paperwork please contact the school clinic 937-372-6983/Extension 8411. Upon completion, please provide the school clinic an updated copy of immunizations. Immunization records can be uploaded into Final Forms or faxed to 937-352-4450.

Thank you,
