TDAP vaccine required for 7th grade students

The SC Department of Public Health states that before your child can enter into 7th grade they must have the required vaccine TDAP (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis[whooping cough]),  on file with the school.

If your child has had this vaccine, please provide the school with a printed copy of your child’s shot record/exemption.

If you know that your student has NOT had their updated vaccine, please call your child's doctor and make them an appointment. Once they have had the vaccine, please bring or send proof of immunization to the school. 

Again, per DHEC guidelines, your student will NOT be permitted to enter into the 7th grade without this required vaccine. 

Please do not hesitate to contact our school nurse, Aleshia Massey at aleshia.massey@spart5.net, if you have any questions regarding your child’s vaccination status.
