Immunizations

Published

These new Tdap and MCV4 requirements are about to make me lose my mind. Trying to get these things turned in is next to impossible. As of today, I am missing almost 150 records between my 7th and 12th grade classes (we aren't a huge school so this is significant). :mad: More notifications are being sent out today (I starting requesting them at the end of the year, last year). I'm thinking I may need to start involving the athletic department in trying to track these down? Do any of you screen the team rosters for immunizations as an "OK to play" kind of thing? I'm thinking that may help me get some of them turned in a timely fashion. idk... I may be grasping at straws here

Our County Health Nurse and I run into each other alot at our kids sporting events. She told me yesterday that she had a parent bring a kid in with my letter I had sent out to get immunizations. At least I know one family listened!

I think I am less than 10 out of compliance for 1100 students. My messages are getting less nice by the day.

I have 1 out of compliance (679 students). He is new, so he has until 10/14, everyone else is finally in compliance.

Luckily our district is good about sending them home if they're non-compliant, sent 2 out last week and they had it within 2 hours. Imagine that, they've only known since last year they needed it.
