School immunizations reminder

This is gentle reminder that school will start in a few weeks, and eighth grade students as well as seniors have new immunization requirements before they will be able to pick up their schedules at the El Dorado Springs Schools.

Eighth graders will be required to have a meningococcal and Tdap shot, and seniors will be required to have a meningococcal shot as well.

Please don’t wait until the last minute to get these immunizations as the Cedar County Health Department will only have a nurse available on Mondays, part of Tuesday, and Wednesdays.

School starts on Wednesday the 17th, and there will not be a nurse available for immunizations that day until afternoon.  After Wednesday afternoon, she will be unavailable until Tuesday the next week.

For more information, please contact the Cedar County Health Department in El Dorado Springs at 417-876-5477 or Stockton at 417-276-6416.
