Public Act 098-0480 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning education.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 10. The Communicable Disease Prevention Act is | ||||
amended by adding Section 1.10 as follows:
| ||||
(410 ILCS 315/1.10 new) | ||||
Sec. 1.10. Meningococcal conjugate vaccine. The Department | ||||
of Public Health shall adopt a rule requiring students, upon | ||||
entering the 6th and 12th grade of any public, private, or | ||||
parochial school, to receive an immunization containing | ||||
meningococcal conjugate vaccine that meets the standards | ||||
approved by the U.S. Public Health Service for such biological | ||||
products and is in accordance with the recommendations of the | ||||
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory | ||||
Committee on Immunization Practices. The immunization shall | ||||
consist of one dose of the MCV4 vaccine for 6th grade entrance | ||||
and 2 doses for 12th grade entrance, unless the first dose was | ||||
administered to a child who was 16 years of age or older, in | ||||
which case only one dose is required at 12th grade entrance. | ||||
However, if the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | ||||
Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices' recommendations | ||||
for adolescents are updated, then the requirement under this | ||||
Section should reflect those changes to be current. The |
immunization requirement shall not apply before 6 months after | ||
final rules are approved. Existing Illinois standards for | ||
parental or legal guardian objections or medical objections | ||
shall be applicable.
