Important Flu, Meningococcal Disease, and Vaccination Information

Important Flu, Meningococcal Disease, and Vaccination Information

State code 20 ILCS 2310/2310-700 requires that the Illinois Department of Public Health provide informational materials for school districts regarding influenza and influenza vaccinations and meningococcal disease and meningococcal vaccinations.

Most of the publications below are for students of all ages. The age-based recommendation for meningococcal vaccination is for children 11 years of age or older. I have also included additional information that may be useful to parents.
