Immunizations

Free Mobile Vaccination Clinic at Rock Ridge High School

Some of our students at Rock Ridge are missing one or both of the following required vaccinations for Minnesota schools:

  • Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis)
  • MenACWY (Meningococcal ACWY)

We are excited to inform you that the M Health Fairview Community Clinic Care Team and St. Louis County Public Health are partnering with Rock Ridge Public Schools to host a FREE mobile vaccination clinic. If your child needs one or both of these required vaccinations and has insurance, it will be billed for reimbursement, but there is NO COST to families. Students without insurance are also eligible to receive vaccines.

Our goal is to remove barriers to care, including cost, transportation, and access.

How Do I Know What Vaccines My Child Needs?
Please contact your student’s school nurse at rrhs-nurse@rrps.org or (218) 735-3506 for assistance.

Minnesota K-12 Immunization Law requires:

  • MenACWY before entering 7th grade and 12th grade.
  • Tdap before entering 7th grade

Learn more about these vaccines and the diseases they prevent here.

MN law M.S. 121A.15 requires written proof of required vaccinations for children in grades K-12. However if a child has a medical reason or if his/her parents are conscientiously opposed to any or all of the shots, a legal exemption is available. To file an exemption, you must fill out this form and return it to the School Nurse. Conscientious objections to immunizations need to be notarized.
