New Immunization Requirement
(2009-2010)
All students in Washington at 11 years of age and entering 6th, 7th, or 8th grade, are required by law to show proof of a Tdap(combination tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccination.
If it has been 5 years or longer since receiving a tetanus containing vaccine (DTaP, DT or Td). Generally children receive their last booster at age 4-6 years old, so this new law will affect most of you.
If your child will be entering 6th, 7th or 8th grade for the 2009-2010 school year, please contact your health care provider as soon as they turn age 11 to obtain this required vaccination.
Students entering 6th or 7th grade (2009-10) are also required by law to have a Varicella (Chicken Pox) vaccine or provide the school with the date of the chicken pox disease.
Providers will be very busy at the start of school, so don't wait!
