The State of Ohio now requires that students aged 16 years and older receive a booster dose of the meningitis vaccine. All students entering the twelfth grade during this fall of 2018 will be REQUIRED to show proof of receiving a Meningococcal (A,C,Y,W-135) vaccine (to protect from Meningitis) by the start of the 2018-19 school year.

Students are asked to complete the required screening questionnaire and insurance information forms before coming to the Clinic.
