RE: Special Immunization Clinics for the 2011-2012 School Year
In anticipation of high demand
for vaccinations due to immunization requirements for school entry, the
Genesee County Health Department strongly recommends that you contact your
child’s health care provider immediately to ensure that your child is up to
date on his or her immunizations before school begins. Children in
kindergarten, 6th grade, and those entering a new school district
for the first time can be excluded from school if they have not received the
required vaccinations. Waiting until the end of August when demand for
vaccinations is high may cause delays in scheduling appointments at your
provider’s office due and result in missed days of school for your child.

District and the Genesee County Health Department, will once again be
