Vaccine Requirement for 7th Graders
Students entering seventh grade are required to have one dose of Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine) before the start of the school year or a parental request for exemption. This vaccine provides a booster dose of pertussis (for whooping cough) along with the tetanus and diphtheria booster (Td) and is recommended for children at 11- to 12-years-old. There is no grace period allowed for complying with this requirement except with military children from another state, who have 30 days from the date of enrollment to be immunized.
