MESSAGE FROM THE EMMS NURSE

The Maryland Department of Health requires that your student have certain vaccinations before starting 7th grade. These two vaccines, Tdap and MCV, will be offered at our school by the Howard County Health Department on (date) and (date), first thing in the morning. If your student is missing either or both of the necessary vaccines for next year, you will be receiving a notice and consent form from the school's health room staff. Please keep an eye out for that letter and consider taking advantage of this FREE convenient vaccination opportunity for your child. Thank you.
(Note: EMMS mailed out the letter and consent forms on Wednesday, April 28th using the USPS.)
