Are you ready for 7th Grade?

All students entering, advancing or transferring into 7th grade need proof of an adolescent whooping cough booster immunization (called "Tdap").

Pertussis is a very contagious respiratory disease that can be severe and last for months. The immunity received from either early childhood immunization or pertussis disease wears off over time, leaving older students and adults susceptable again to pertusis. Immunization with Tdap can protect students, schools and communities against pertussis.

For more information you can visit www.scdhec.gov/scimmunize or contact your school nurse at 775-7272.
