Additional State Required Shots for 7th Graders
*Attention Parents of INCOMING 7th GRADERS
Texas state law requires students attending school to be immunized against certain vaccine-preventable diseases.
All students entering 7th grade at Mance Park Middle School are required to have additional immunizations for admission to school including meningococcal and whooping cough shots. An HPV vaccination and an annual flu shot also keep illness, even cancer, away. We encourage you to get your child vaccinated early so as to avoid the end-of-summer vaccination rush. Getting your child vaccinated protects your child’s health and that of the community.
Protect your kids – vaccinate them.
