NEW IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENT FOR 6TH GRADE ENTRY

Beginning with the 2010-2011 school year, a dose of Tdap vaccine will be required for Alabama students ages 11 or 12 years entering 6th grade.  This requirement will escalate by one successive grade each year for the following 6 years to include sixth through twelfth grades, beginning fall of 2016.  You can help minimize the rush by encouraging vaccination well before the school requirement takes effect.
