Missouri School Law requires that children who are not completely immunized will not be allowed to enroll in school and will be excluded immediately. If you have any questions regarding your child’s immunization status or for more detailed information, please check with your school nurse.
| NEW IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS FOR 2012-2013 SCHOOL YEAR The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services recently revised the code of state regulations, immunizations requirements for school children. ♦ Tdap (tetanus, diptheria, and pertusis) vaccine will BE REQUIRED for all incoming eighth grade students if the child has completed the recommended childhood Dtap/DTP vaccination series and has not received a TD booster within the past two years. The intent of this article is to inform you in advance that in order for your child to start classes on the first day of 2010-2011 school year (in August), they must have received the Tdap immunization and turned in the paperwork that provides proof that they have received the immunization. Failure to do so will result in expulsion from school until this requirement is met. Since this is a new law, there will more than likely be a backup for appointments at either your personal physician or the local health department. By getting your child's immunization done in advance (before August, 2010), you will avoid having problems getting an appointment and/or starting the first day of school. Please be reminded that when you decide to get this done (March-August) the required paperwork needs to either be turned in or mailed to the nurse's office at BHMS. The nurse will then cross your child's name off the list and they will be allowed to begin the first day of school. Any questions should be directed to BHMS's school nurse, Phyllis Avis at 636-456-6903, ext. 3334. For appointments at the Warren County Health Department, please call 636-456-7474. |
