Juniors & Seniors: Listen up Juniors & Seniors because this is extremely important!!! Every Junior and Senior has to have a 2^nd dose of MCV4 vaccine. This is a NEW requirement this year so if you’ve only had 1 dose of MCV4 or if you are thinking you did this when you were a Freshman or Sophomore, you did not. The 2^nd dose is a new requirement this year. You need to have this done or scheduled to have it done by October 1^st!!!! So if you aren’t sure if you’ve had the 2^nd dose, ask your parent or see Michelle Schmidt in Student Services.
