IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RISING 7TH GRADE STUDENTS
Tdap Vaccine
Please make sure that your student is compliant with SC DHEC’s Tdap Guidelines.
• All students entering (7th) seventh grade must receive (or have received) a Tdap vaccine to attend school. The Tdap vaccine protects students from tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough (pertussis). This vaccine is routinely recommended to be given at 11-12 years of age; however, if the Tdap vaccine is needed at an earlier age, a dose received on or after the tenth birthday will meet this requirement. You must provide proof to your child’s school on a South Carolina Certificate of Immunization form.
Please avoid the last-minute rush. Make an appointment with your rising seventh grader’s healthcare provider today to get the required Tdap vaccine, along with other vaccines that are recommended for your child’s protection.
• A partir del año escolar 2024-2025, todos los alumnos que entren al séptimo año deberán recibir (o haber recibido) la vacuna de Tdap para poder asistir a la escuela. La vacuna de Tdap protege a los alumnos del tétano, la difteria y la tos ferina (pertussis). Normalmente se recomienda que dicha vacuna se administre a los 11-12 años de edad; sin embargo, si es necesario administrar la vacuna a una edad más joven, se cumple con el requisito si el niño recibe una dosis el día que cumpla diez años o después. Debe entregarse a la escuela un Certificado de Inmunización del Estado de Carolina del Sur para comprobar que su hijo ha sido vacunado.
Por favor evite dejarlo para el último momento. Haga una cita hoy con el proveedor de salud de su hijo para que reciba la vacuna Tdap que recién se hizo obligatoria, al igual que las otras vacunas recomendadas para proteger a su hijo.
• If you have any questions regarding your rising 7th-grade student's vaccination status, please contact your middle school nurse.
