2024-2025 New York State Health Requirements

All students entering 7th grade are required by New York State to have an updated Physical Exam on file in the Health Office.  Physicals must be on this form.  

The physical can be dated from 9/1/23 forward to the current date.

Please fax to (585)242-7367, mail, email, or bring to the Health Office.

Please schedule an appointment with your child's medical provider as soon as possible.

  • All students in 6th grade must receive one dose of the Tdap vaccine between their 10th and 11th birthdays (this is different from the Dtap vaccine received earlier in childhood).  
  • If a dose of Tdap was given before age 10, it cannot be counted towards the New York State 6th grade requirement.
  • If your child turns 11 years old and they have not had Tdap yet, please contact their healthcare provider and let the TCMS Health Office know of your child's appointment date.
  • If your child has already received Tdap, please send a copy of their immunization records to the TCMS Health Office.
  • All students entering 7th grade must receive the meningococcal vaccine.
  • If a dose of the meningococcal vaccine was given before age 10, it cannot be counted towards the New York State 7th grade requirement.
  • If your child hasn't received the meningococcal vaccine yet, please let us know your child's appointment date.
  • If your child has already received the meningococcal vaccine, please send a copy of their immunization records to the TCMS Health Office.

New York state only allows a 14-day grace period after the start of the school year to receive mandatory vaccines.  For your child to continue participating in school after the 14 allotted days, your child needs to receive their required vaccine with documentation submitted to the TCMS Health Office.

There are no additional NYS-mandated immunizations required in 8th grade.  NYS does not require an updated physical in 8th grade unless a student is new to the district or is participating in school sports.

It's best to check with your medical provider to see whether your child needs any vaccines.

 

The Monroe County Health Department has an Immunization Clinic.
