Tdap Vaccination Required for 7th Graders
The incidence of Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, has increased in recent
years. A very serious illness that can in some cases lead to death led to the CDC
requirement of a booster dose of vaccine as students enter 7th grade.
Tdap is recommended for all adolescents and is required for those entering 7th
grade.
Students must provide proof of vaccination or will be excluded from school.
HPV and MCV4 are strongly recommended but are not required!
