VIGO COUNTY, Ind. – If you have a student that attends Vigo County Schools, they need to be up to date on their immunizations soon.

Starting Monday, Vigo County Schools may exclude your child from school and after-school activates.

Here are the exclusion dates for your child’s school:

  • Monday: McLean, West Vigo, and Washington High Schools.
  • Wednesday: Terre Haute North High School.
  • Friday: Terre Haute South High School.

 

Each year public schools alert students of the shot requirements according to the Indiana State Department of Health. During this time, nurses will visit your child’s classroom and confirm their shot records. This is an attempt to lower sickness for the student body and staff.

Middle and elementary schools will have their exclusion days coming up in the next few months.
