Probably most familiar to students and families is the sports physical. Any student hoping to participate in band or a sport, must have a current, updated sports physical on file every year. There are free sports physicals being offered by Grace Clinics on July 28th in Hilliard and on August 2nd in Delaware. You should text 740-816-7022 to schedule an appointment.
Additionally, the state requires all students to have an updated meningococcal vaccine by August of their senior year. The requirement is that one dose of the Meningococcal (MenACWY) vaccine must be given on or after the age of 16. Proof of vaccination is due prior to senior year by the State of Ohio. In order to help students fulfill this requirement, a Free Vaccine Clinic will be held at WKHS this Friday, April 25th from 8:30am-12:30pm. This is a free opportunity for students from the Columbus Public Health Department to get this requirement completed during a school day. Parents do not need to be present, but a consent form is required. Consent forms can be picked up from Nurse Julie in the health office at school. I hope you will take advantage of this free opportunity!
In addition to the Meningococcal vaccine, they will also be offering Influenza, Tdap, and HPV vaccines for free to students who want/ need them.
Any questions about the free vaccine clinic or the meningococcal vaccine requirement can be directed to WKHS Nurse Julie at jgarner@wscloud.org.
