Do not forget about the vaccine requirements for students. Students entering 7th and 12th grade must have up-to-date shot records prior to the first day of school. The Mid Ohio Valley Health Department is collaborating with Wood County Schools to offer an immunization clinic for children needing their Tdap and Meningitis vaccines. Our school based clinic is scheduled for April 9th. Parents do not need to be present but a completed consent form and screening questionnaire are required. Please contact Nurse Danielle for more information.
