2023-2024 Senior Vaccinations
The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) requires that students entering 12th grade must have two Meningococcal (MCV4) immunizations. The two (2) doses must be given at least 8 weeks apart.
 
There are two exceptions to this law: 
• If the first dose is administered on or after the student’s 16th birthday, a second dose is not required.
• If the student is in 12th grade and is 15 years old or younger, only one dose is required.
 
Please submit a record of the date (month-day-year) that the Meningococcal vaccine was given before the school year begins on August 23, 2023 and preferably before school ends this May. The shot record can be obtained from the doctor or clinic who administers the vaccine.
 
Whether your student attends GHS or C-TEC, please return all shot records to Granville High School 248 New Burg St. Granville, Ohio 43023.
 
Please do not put off fulfilling the Meningococcal requirement. State law requires us to prohibit students from attending school after the 14th day of entering school if they do not have this immunization.
 
If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at (740) 587-8172 or email me at [email protected]. Thank you for your help in meeting this requirement.
