In 2010-2011, the State of Indiana school immunization requirements will change for students entering the 6th thru 12th grade. In anticipation of these changes, the Marshall County Health Department will be hosting a FREE IMMUNIZATION CLINIC for Riverside students only at Riverside Intermediate School on March 17, 2010. Notification was sent home with students who will be needing immunizations. Parents need not be present, but signed permission forms must be returned prior to the clinic. All parents are encouraged to take advantage of this onsite clinic in order to avoid the rush before school starts in August.
New requirements are:
Tdap ( Tetanus, diptheria, and pertussis) must be given after the tenth birthday
Menactra ( Meningitis)
Two Varicella (chickenpox) or written date of disease.
They will offer Hep B and IPV if necessary.
Please contact the school at (574) 936-3787 if you have any questions.
