Columbus Health Department Immunization Clinic Hours

Ohio law requires several immunizations for school attendance, and specifically, 7^th graders need the Tdap and MCV4 (Meningococcal) immunizations and a copy of that record to be at school.  (Students of any grade need up-to-date shots and records as well. If your 6^th, 7^th, or 8^th grader is new to our district, or got behind because of all the disruptions due to COVID these past few years, they will need all their immunizations to be current.)  

**IMMUNIZATION RECORDS ARE DUE BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2022.**

Students will be excluded from school if immunization records aren't received by September 23, 2022. All parents received notification in the spring of this mandate along with a referral and health department immunization clinic information. Reminders will be made weekly for the next several weeks.  Please contact School Nurse, Michelle Treaster, at 614-365-6020 or at mtreaster@columbus.k12.oh.us with questions or concerns.  

We encourage all families to return the immunization record and/or reach out to their healthcare provider or the Columbus Health Department as soon as possible to schedule immunizations in order to avoid exclusion.
