 Attention 11th Grade (16 years of age and older) Students and Parents:

The Gwinnett, Newton, Rockdale County Health Department will hold 11th grade/16 years of age and older vaccination events on the dates listed below. This is to assist our students and families with obtaining the required meningitis booster if they have not already done so.  Georgia requires this vaccine and students may be withdrawn at the end of November 2023 if they do not have this on file. The GRN Health Department also will offer COVID-19 and flu vaccinations and have a limited supply of the Tdap vaccine.
