Garrett’s Law

Garrett’s law was enacted in 2004.  It mandates schools provide parents and guardians with information about meningococcal meningitis and influenza and the vaccines that protect against these diseases. The law was expanded in 2007 to mandate that information also be provided about human papillomavirus (HPV) and the vaccines available to protect against HPV.

Further information on NC’s K-12 school vaccine requirements and recommendations can be found here. Additional materials and resources on meningococcal meningitis, influenza, and HPV can be found below:
