Sorry about capitalizing of the please read...I always think someone is yelling at me when they do that in an e-mail, but this is important. There is a new law that went into place January 1st 2010 on changes for vaccines for incoming 6th graders. The changes include:
One dose of Meningococcal Conjugate vaccine on or after the 11th birthday for all 6th graders and students new to your district.
One dose of Tdap on or after the 11th birthday if it has been 5 years since the last dose of tetanus/diphtheria vaccine for all 6th graders and students new to your district
Two doses of Varicella or history of chicken pox disease for all kindergarten and new entrants to your school.
Please help spread the word. These immunizations and vaccines can be obtained through your physician or at our county health department. The health department is offering free immunizations on August 28th. Please call for more details. 810-987-5728
