Immunization Requirements For Rising Seniors
-
Send updated immunization records to: SHS-studentsvcs@wcpss.net or Fax: 919-670-4438
North Carolina law requires all rising 12th graders to receive a meningococcal vaccine booster before starting 12th grade. The vaccination must be completed and current immunization records updated before the 24-25 school year begins.
Families will need to provide a copy of their child’s immunization record showing proof that the meningococcal vaccine has been completed prior to the first day of school. This is a 2-dose immunization; the 1st dose was required in the 7th grade in Wake County schools. This requirement is for everyone in the Class of 2025 and after.
