DESCRIPTION:
New school requirement: 6th through 12th graders are now required to get a whooping cough shot/booster (also known as “Tdap”) before starting the 2013-2014 school year.
The Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis) vaccine will be offered free of charge to Chicago residents and no appointment is necessary. The clinics will be held at two Chicago Public Schools each day (see flyers for details).
The purpose of the clinics is to provide Tdap vaccine to students so they are in compliance with the upcoming 2013-2014 school requirement, as well as to offer protection to the students and their family members. We appreciate your support in keeping our students healthy and ready for the upcoming 2013-2014 school year.
