This is Karen Gilchrist, your School Nurse. As the parent of a rising seventh grader, did you know your child is required to have a Tdap vaccine prior entering the seventh
grade? You may also hear it called a “tetanus shot with whooping cough.”
DHEC is once again partnering with Richland School District Two to offer the Tdap vaccine at school. DHEC will be here the week of May 22 2017. Parent permission forms are being sent home this week. If you want your child to receive the vaccine here at school, please fill out and return the permission form to me by April 28th 2017.
If your child has not been vaccinated and is not participating in the school based vaccine clinic, please call your physician today to schedule an appointment. If you do not have a regular healthcare provider, you can call the DHEC appointment line at 1-800-868-0404 to schedule an appointment.
Once your child has received the vaccine bring me a copy of the immunization certificate showing your child received the Tdap vaccine. If you child has already received the Tdap vaccine I need a copy for your child’s record. Please contact me if you need further assistance.
