Rising 7th grade- required vaccines

Action Required

Per the Maryland State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, ALL rising 7th grade students are required to have two additional vaccines by the first day of the 2026-27 school year (August 24, 2026):

Tdap and MCV4

These immunizations are routinely given at your student's annual physical exams (usually between the ages of 10-12). Please check with your pediatrician to see if your student has received these vaccines and send a copy of their updated immunizations to the Health Room via email:

Having your child’s updated immunization record prior to the end of this school year will help eliminate the possibility of exclusion from the start of school next year.
