New Minnesota Immunization Laws for Schools Begin September 2014

On Sept. 1, 2014, changes to Minnesota’s Immunization Law will take effect, which now requires that students be vaccinated with the Meningococcal Vaccine (MCV4) by grade 7. This new law has implications for our senior high students and especially for seniors who will be attending a college after graduation. Most colleges will require a MCV4 for enrollment. Medical and conscientious exemptions are still allowed under the law.

All students in grades 7 through 12 should get this vaccine. Please contact your clinic for an appointment.
