Ohio Revised code section 3701.12 and 3313.671 calls for students entering the 7th grade to obtain a tetanus, diptheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap). Therefore, your current sixth grader will need to show proof of having received this dose of Tdap (name brands are: Adacel and Boostrix) before they return to school in August. Please take this notice to your physician and return the completed information to your middle school nurse. It can be sent through the post office, scanned and emailed, or hand delivered to the school office.
