11th Grade Students: Effective July 1, 2021, all students entering or transferring into the 11th grade will need proof of a meningococcal booster (MCV4), unless their first dose was received on or after their 16th birthday.

Additionally, the new Certificate of Immunization Form 3231 (Revised 7/2014) is a requirement for all students to register for school. The new 3231 Certificate of Immunization Form can be obtained from a community provider and/or local health departments who should also have access to GRITS (The Georgia Registry of Immunization Transactions and Services). Proof of both vaccinations MUST be documented on the Georgia Certificate of Immunization (Form 3231). Certificates issued prior to July 1, 2014, can be submitted only if Form 3231 (Revised 3/2007) shows proof of the two vaccinations unless the child has an exemption.
