October 21, OVA Immunization Requirements

 

Dear OVA Families,

You are receiving this email because your student has immunizations that are due for the 2022-23 school year. The Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR) indicates that your child is overdue for immunizations.

Michigan law requires that all students must be immunized against vaccine-preventable diseases to attend school. At this time, the Michigan immunization requirements, waivers, and reporting for schools remain the same per the MI Public Health Code.

If you have questions about the immunizations that are needed, please contact your child’s healthcare provider. Please take any immunization records you may have to your healthcare provider so that your child’s immunization record can be updated.

If you choose not to have your child vaccinated with the required vaccines, you will need to make a waiver education appointment with your local health department to receive a non-medical waiver.

  • Oakland County residents– contact the Oakland County nurse on call regarding immunization waiver education scheduling updates @ 1-800-848-5533.
  • Out-of-county residents– please contact your local health department for waiver education information.
  • Medical waivers must be obtained from your child’s physician.

Your child will be excluded from OVA classes, both virtually and in person on November 1st if we do not receive current immunizations or a waiver for that student. Please provide the updated proof of complete immunizations or waiver obtained by your local health department, before October 21, to prevent this exclusion from class.

You may email the completed immunizations or waivers to [email protected]The waiver must be dated after January 1 of the current year and made out to OVA.

Thank you!
