LCSD#1 Vaccination Deadline Sept. 24

Laramie County School District # 1 reminds parents and guardians that the deadline for students to receive their required immunizations is Thursday, Sept. 24.

According to the district’s head nurse, Chris Bartholomew, immunizations are required by state law and notification of this requirement begins as early as February during registration prior to the fall deadline.

If a student is not immunized they will be excluded from classes on September 25, according to LCSD#1 officials. Parents and guardians will be called to pick their child up from school to take their child for the required immunization. Parents/guardians are expected to bring the student back to school immediately after the immunization is completed.

Vaccine is readily available at healthcare providers in Cheyenne and the Cheyenne-Laramie County Health Department.

For more information, parents are encouraged to contact their child's school.
