Public Health Dayton & Montgomery County and Dayton Children’s Play Key Roles

(DAYTON, Ohio – August 21, 2020) – Ë¿¹Ï¶ÌÊÓƵ, a leading multi-state managed care plan, announced a partnership with Montgomery County Public Health and Dayton Children’s to hold a back to school vaccination event for 7th and 12th graders on Wednesday, August 26th at the Dayton Kroc Center. The state requires all 7th-grade students to have a TDAP and meningitis vaccine and all 12th-grade students to have a second meningitis vaccine before beginning the school year.

“As Ohio sees a serious decline in vaccinations, clinics like this will become even more critical to prevent additional outbreaks,” said Steve Ringel, Ë¿¹Ï¶ÌÊÓƵ Ohio Market President. “Ë¿¹Ï¶ÌÊÓƵ is committed to working with community and state organizations to encourage and educate on the importance of continuing to get vaccinated even during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

The Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority will also be supporting the event with free transportation for all children in 7th and 12th grades traveling with their parent/guardian on August 26, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

If a parent has questions about in-person vaccination opportunities, they should consult their care provider.
