The Nurse/Health Assistant in each building annually reviews the immunization records provided by the parent or previous school to ensure the proper immunization of all students in accordance with Ohio Law. If it is determined that the student needs additional immunizations, it is expected that immunizations are obtained immediately upon notification from the Health Office.
If the student is found to be out of compliance with Ohio's Immunization Law, the student may be excluded after 14 days into the school year per Ohio law. Missed school days for immunization non-compliance are counted towards truancy.
In Ohio, a parent/guardian has the right to request an exemption from immunization to one or more vaccinations based on medical, religious or philosophical reasoning. The form is available below, and must be completed each school year that the child is enrolled. Immunization Exemption Request
Where you can get immunizations
NWLSD is not a vaccination provider. If you need guidance on locations where you can get your child vaccinated, here are some suggested providers:
• Your child’s primary care physician (schedule a well-child visit, be sure to make
appointments well in advance).
• Local clinics/community health centers/health departments (Click Here) offer free or sliding scale services.
• Pharmacies- Walgreens, CVS and Kroger Little Clinics all offer vaccine services at cost.
Immunization requirements for school may change annually. Click on the links below to see the most current immunization schedules for school aged children in the State of Ohio.
Questions about immunizations needed for your child, should be directed to the health office at your child's school.
