The CDC recommends 3 immunizations for preteens. Please see the information sheet at the end of the Angel News for immunization details. The meningitis and Tdap (see below) are required for 6th grade in Indiana. The HPV immunization is recommended.
Immunization notice for 6th grade parents:
11 year olds entering 6th grade in Indiana are required to receive the meningitis vaccine, and an updated tetanus/pertussis vaccine known as “Tdap”. The “tetanus booster” cannot be received until after the 10th or 11th birthday (depending on the drug manufacturer). This vaccine has dramatically lowered the number of pertussis cases in middle school and high school students in Indiana. The meningitis vaccine has reduced incidents of this serious disease in our adolescent and young adult group. Make sure all vaccines are received before entering 6th grade. For Questions regarding the above, call the nurse’s office @ 896-5582 ext 1204.
