Important

Tdap vaccinations required of all incoming

7th graders for 2012-13

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

Mississippi will join 41 other states in requiring a recent Tdap

vaccination for all students entering the 7th grade, beginning with

the 2012-2013 school year. In order to enter school, all students

entering the seventh grade must have documentation from a physician

verifying that they have received a recent Tdap vaccination (at age

seven or later). This includes new students, current students and

transfer students in both public and private schools. Tdap (tetanus,

diphtheria and pertussis) vaccination provides protection against

whooping cough (pertussis), a highly contagious disease that can be

severe or fatal, especially in very young children. Infants who are

too young to be vaccinated against pertussis must be protected by

ensuring that adolescents and adults around them cannot carry the

disease.
