Pertussis (Whooping Cough) is widespread. If your child is 10 years or older and has not yet received the ‘Tdap’ pertussis booster shot, please contact your doctor or health department.

Getting a booster shot now will protect your child against the ongoing threat of pertussis and meet a new school requirement beginning in the 2011-12 school year that all students entering 7th through 12th grades will need proof of a Tdap booster shot before starting school. This requirement begins July 1, 2011.

This requirement can be met by receiving one dose of Tdap vaccine on or after the 10th birthday and applies to all public and private schools (does not affect students enrolled in summer school).
