Immunization Reminder for 7th and 12th graders
The Iowa Department of Public Health has NOT changed the immunization requirements with the presence of the pandemic. We would like to remind parents of 7th and 12th Grade Students of the needed additional immunizations the Iowa Department of Public Health requires proof of before students can attend classes.
Students entering 7th grade must meet the following guidelines:
1 dose of meningococcal vaccine
1 dose of Tdap vaccine (Tetanus, Diptheria, and Pertussis)
PER IOWA IMMUNIZATION LAW – YOUR CHILD WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND SCHOOL UNTIL PROOF OF THIS VACCINATION IS PROVIDED TO THE LINN-MAR HEALTH OFFICE.
Your child will not be able to attend classes August 24 and will be sent home until the vaccination is received.
This immunization can be received at your physician’s office or Linn-County public health department (319-892-6000). Walk-in clinics do not provide this vaccination.
Parents/guardians can provide proof of immunization to the LM Health Office by sending proof of immunization via fax, email or drop off records to the health office. If you have questions about your child’s immunizations, please contact your child’s school nurse.
Students entering 12th grade must meet the following guidelines:
2 doses of meningococcal vaccines, if born after September 15, 1999; or
1 dose if received when students are 16 years of age or older.
