Dear Parent/Guardian:

The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) under Chapter 14 N.J.A.C. 8:57-4 mandates the following two vaccines be given at age 10 or older. 

1.  Tdap vaccine  (Tetanus, Diphtheria, acellular Pertussis):  Students must have one Tdap dose given at age 10 or older and show proof that they completed the primary series. 

2.  Meningococcal vaccine:  One dose of MenACWY is required for those ages 10 and older. Doses of MenACWY given before age 10 would need to be repeated. 

Please provide your child's COMPLETE IMMUNIZATION RECORD that includes these vaccines PRIOR TO ENTRANCE INTO SIXTH GRADE in September 2026.
