Lincoln / Roosevelt Health Office

ATTENTION GRADE 6 PARENTS:

The following immunizations are now required for all students born on or after January 1, 1997 and entering Grade Six in September 2012:

 

One Dose of Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis) – given no earlier

than their 10th birthday.  Some Tdap preparations may only be given after the 11th birthday.  Immunization type is dependent upon what your pediatrician stocks in his office, (ie.,  Boostrix/Adacel).   If a Tetanus immunization, (DTP/DTaP or Td) dose has been administered in the last five years, documentation must be received by the Lincoln Roosevelt Health Office.

 

One Dose of Meningococcal-containing vaccine, such as the medically-preferred

Meningococcal conjugate vaccine is also required.  This is a preventative vaccine for meningitis.

 

In order for your child to receive their class placement for 2012-2013 written documentation must be received by the Main Office no later than August 15th.  If your child's birthday is after that date in order to receive their placement letter we must have their appointment date on the doctor's script, letterhead, or a copy of your appointment card.  You may fax this information to 973-584-4257. 

 

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
