The Pennsylvania Department of Health requires all students entering 7th grade to have 1 dose of tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) inoculation as well as 1 does of meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV) by the first day of the 7th grade school year. Barring a medical and/or religious/philosophical exemption all children are required to have these inoculations/vaccinations or risk exclusion from school. Attached is a document from the Department of Health detailing this mandate: School Vaccination Requirements.pdf
If you have questions regarding this process please contact our school nurse, Mrs. Jennifer Coeyman at 244-4021 (2500).
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kevin A. Peters
