Immunization Requirements

State law requires students in Texas schools to be immunized against certain vaccine-preventable diseases. Getting your child vaccinated not only protects your child’s health, but also that of the community. 

 7th grade REQUIRED vaccinations:

 According to state immunization requirements, 7th grade students (2021-22) must have the following immunizations to start school on August 16, 2021:

 Tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis containing vaccine (Tdap)

* One booster dose if at least 5 years have passed since the last tetanus- containing vaccine was received.

 Meningococcal Vaccine

* One dose of meningococcal vaccine after age 10 or 11

 * Please review your child's immunization record to be sure your child has received the required immunizations.

 * Provide a copy to the school nurse as soon as possible to ensure your student will be cleared to start school. The nurse is currently back on campus.

* Students not cleared will not be counted as present. Students not present on the first day of school, will need to be re-enrolled by parent.

Records can be scanned and e-mailed to the school nurse at MAPPLE1@NEISD.NET  , faxed to (210)650-1309, or dropped off to the Clinic.
