7th Graders Entering School Need Immunizations & Tdap

Do you have a child or know of a child entering the 7th grade for the 2013-2014 school year? In addition to compliance with all immunization requirements, children entering, attending, or transferring to the seventh grade in Florida schools must receive a tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap) vaccination.

By state statute, your child will not be able to start 7th grade without documentation of this required vaccination. To avoid interrupting your child’s educational opportunities for the 2013-2014 school year (starting date August 7, 2013), call for an appointment today with your private physician or the Citrus Health Department.

Be sure to take all your child’s immunization records with you so they can be updated. Please take the time today to make an appointment. If you have any questions regarding school immunization requirements, contact Jessica Hoag, Student Health Specialist at 352-527-0090 or your local Health Department location at 352-726-1731 (Inverness), 352-527-0068 (Lecanto), or 352-795-6233 (Crystal River).
