7th - 12th GRADE IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS:

All 7th-12th-grade students are required by the State of Maryland to have one Tdap & one MCV4 vaccination.  If the health room does not have a record of these two vaccines for your 7th or 8th-grade student, the health room will contact you prior to the start of the school year to obtain updated immunization documentation.  Your student will not be able to start school on Tuesday, September 3rd without proof of these vaccinations.  Please feel free to email the school cluster nurse over the summer with any questions at leslie_williams@hcpss.org.  Thank you!
