ATTENTION ALL 2024-25 12TH GRADERS
State law requires all students entering the 12th grade to receive a booster dose of Meningococcal ACWY vaccine. This means all rising 12th graders must have received a dose of Meningococcal ACWY vaccine before they can start 12th grade. If your child has had a Meningococcal ACWY vaccine on or after the age of 16, they are only required to have one dose.
If your child has already received their vaccination, please send a copy of the vaccination record to the school. If your child has not received this vaccination, and you would like him/her/them to be vaccinated at school, the King William Health Department will provide the required immunization at King William High School on August 15th during open house at no cost to the student / family.
If your child has private insurance/FAMIS/Medicaid, enter the coverage information on the consent form as requested along with a copy of the front and back of your insurance card. VDH is required to bill for the service if you have medical coverage.The Vaccine is limited and will be provided on a first come, first served basis.
Attached are two forms:
1- 2024 Student Vaccination Consent Form (complete front and back and return to the school),
2- Meningococcal ACWY Vaccine Information Statement (read and keep)
If your child is sick, he/she/they will not be able to receive the vaccine. Ensure your child is wearing clothing that allows their arm to be easily accessible. In order for your child to be vaccinated at school, the Vaccination Consent Forms must be filled out completely and signed by the parent/guardian.
If you have any questions, please contact the school nurse or Registrar’s office. (804) 769-3434.
