Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, continues to threaten students in California. To help stop its spread, all incoming 7th graders are required by law to have proof of a whooping cough booster (‘Tdap’) shot, or file an exemption, in order to attend classes this year. Students will not be allowed to attend classes without a shot record.
We need a booster shot record for your student. If your student hasn’t had a booster shot yet, please schedule an appointment immediately with your regular doctor. Vaccine may also be available through San Mateo County Public Health Department or visit www.shotsforschool.org/parentinfo.html. If your student has already received the booster shot, please give us a copy of the shot record prior to the start of school on August 28, 2012.
Feel free to call us with any questions or concerns. Our phone number is (650) 259-3830.
Thank you,
Debbie Gianni
Secretary
