NEW VACCINE REQUIREMENTS FOR SCHOOL KIDS

(07/24/2015)
Kids will be heading back to school soon.

A relatively new law requires children entering 7th grade to have proof of Tdap given after the age of 12.

Kids entering 12th grade are required to have a meningitis vaccine after the age of 16.

If you have a child entering kindergarten, an oral health form is now required to be signed by a dentist within the last year.

A large percentage of WV children have not or cannot access dental care.
