Immunization update
Do you have a child entering eighth grade
this fall? The state of Missouri
has updated its immunization
schedule and now students
will need to receive the
meningococcal (MCV)
vaccination in addition to
the other recommended
vaccines. During your child’s
annual wellness examination,
ask about the MCV vaccination.
For a complete list of immunization
requirements for the 2016–2017 school
year, go to
