Tdap Reminder

Tdap Reminder

Incoming 7 th or 8 th grader that requires a Tdap vaccine. Effective July 1 2019, all students entering 7th grade must be fully vaccinated per California School Immunization Requirements. Upon registration, parents must provide proof of full vaccination to the school office (preferably a stamped California Immunization Record card).

 

All students entering 7th grade need to have a Tdap (whooping cough) and Varicella 1 and 2 vaccine booster. You will need to provide to the school office a stamped California Immunization Record (yellow) card as proof of the Tdap booster.

 

California has enacted law (AB 354) which requires public and private school students to be immunized against whooping cough as follows:

• Students entering 7th grade need to show proof of a Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis) and Varicella 1 and 2 booster shot before starting school.

• 7th Grade students will not be able to attend school or receive a class schedule without showing proof of the Tdap/Pertussis booster vaccine and Varicella 1 and 2.

 

In order to prepare, Muroc Joint Unified School District recommends that you make arrangements for your student(s) to obtain the required Tdap booster and Varicella 1 and 2 vaccine now, through their primary care physician. When your child has received the vaccine, please bring a copy of the Tdap and Varicella 1 and 2 Vaccine record to your school office.

Thank you for your timely cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,

Debbie Tan, BSN, RN, CPN District Nurse
