SLS reminds parents about required vaccinations

Springfield Local Schools reminds parents that certain immunizations are required before entering school.

Incoming kindergarten students should have received the completed series of Dtap, MMR, chickenpox, polio and hepatitis B shots.

Seventh graders are required to have a Tdap booster and meningitis vaccination, and high school students must be administered a meningitis booster on or after a student’s 16th birthday.
