<p>Check to make sure your student is up to date on vaccinations!</p> <p>Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis (DTaP/Tdap/DT/Td) – Five doses of DTaP or DT are required for children under 7 years of age and one dose of Tdap is required for students in 6th through 12th grades. Tdap is recommended for children 7 to 10 years of age who have not completed the DTaP or DT series. DTaP, DT, Td & Tdap are the vaccines that protect against tetanus (a disease that causes painful muscle stiffness, convulsions and death) and diphtheria (a disease that can cause suffocation, paralysis, heart failure, and death). The pertussis portion of the vaccine protects against whooping cough, which can lead to pneumonia, seizures, and death. Tdap vaccine will help protect adolescents from the whooping cough or pertussis disease and it will help prevent them from infecting infants and smaller children in the family.</p>
