Notes from the School Nurse
Reminder to Parents of 5th graders
Schedule your TDAP! As you and your student prepare for the transition to Middle School, please remember that your student will be required to have documentation of the TDAP vaccine (or exemption, signed by parent and health care provider), typically given at age 11 years. The TDAP is a booster, following the series of DTAP shots, which were given before your child started school. The TDAP protects your child from tetanus and diphtheria, and those around him/her from whooping cough. Please do not wait until the end of summer to get this taken care of. Thank you!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Taylor Mason, RN School Nurse 679-4207
