Important Informaton Regarding Immunizations Required for School

Please read this important information regarding immunizations for all students.  Students are expected to have their immunizations up-to-date by the first day of school, or they will be excluded from school per Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.  Please click here to see the vaccine requirements for children in Maryland Public Schools for the 2017-2018 school year. 

This year the Howard County Health Department will be holding three walk-in clinics at local schools where students can receive required vaccines. View the flyer here. If a parent indicates to Health Room staff that they will attend one of the clinics that week, the student will be allowed to remain in school.  Should the student NOT attend the clinic and remains out of compliance, they MUST be excluded from school until the immunization is up-to-date. 

Thank you for your compliance with these requirements.  Please contact the health room with any questions.
