GA law requires all 11th graders to have a MCV4 BOOSTER once the student is 16 years old. Proof of a second meningococcal vaccination (MCV4) is required to remain in school after December 2, 2024 . If student doesn’t have vaccine by this date they will be sent home from school December 3,2024.
The student must be 16 years old to receive the second MCV4 vaccination.
Meningococcal disease is a serious bacterial illness that affects the brain and the spinal cord. Meningitis can cause shock, coma and death within hours of the first symptoms. To help protect your children and others from meningitis, Georgia law requires students to be vaccinated against this disease, unless the child has an exemption.
If you have any questions, please contact your healthcare provider, Eisenhower Army Medical Center, the Public Health Department (706-868-3330) or your school nurse.
