Missouri state law requires that all students must be up-to-date on all immunizations in order to attend school. The Missouri School Immunization requirements have changed for the upcoming 2017-2018 school year. This change will affect 2017-2018 seniors and 8th graders. The immunization requirement has included the Meningococcal vaccine (MCV). 8th graders will be required to have one dose and seniors will be required to have two doses, with the exception if the first dose was administered to a student who was 16 years of age or older, in which case only one dose is required. If your child is not up to date on MCV, proof of receiving the MCV vaccine must be turned in before the first day of school in August.
