New California Law requires ALL students entering or advancing into 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grades need to provide the school with proof of a Tdap (whooping cough) shot before starting school this fall.
YOUR CHILD WILL NOT BE ABLE TO START SCHOOL ON AUGUST 22, 2011 UNLESS PROOF OF Tdap IS RECEIVED.
• REVIEW YOUR CHILD’S SHOT RECORD NOW.
• If your child received the Tdap shot at age 7 years or older, please bring your child’s immunization (shot) record to your child’s current school office as soon as possible.
• If your child has not received Tdap, get the shot from:
1. Your family physician/clinic
2. RUSD Children’s Clinic--Open Mondays and Thursdays all summer long. (626) 964-4798
3. Dial 211 for a no or low cost provider near you
Remember to bring your child’s immunization record to get the shot then provide written proof of Tdap to your child’s school.
