New Law Requires Tdap Shot for 7th through 12th Graders
posted by Mrs. Davis on Monday, May 23rd, 2011
Under a new law, California middle and high school students must be vaccinated against pertussis (whooping cough). Beginning July 1, 2011, all students entering 7th through 12th grades will be required to show proof of a “Tdap*” booster shot before starting school. This requirement applies to all public and private schools. The new requirement was signed into law in 2010 by Governor Schwarzenegger. Starting July 2012, only students entering 7th grade will need proof of a Tdap booster shot.
In 2010 California experienced its worst outbreak of pertussis in more than half a century, with more than 7,800 confirmed cases and 10 infant deaths. The new immunization requirement is intended to help reduce the spread of whooping cough among California’s youth. Most children are fully protected prior to entering kindergarten because of the DTaP vaccine, a vaccine formulated for younger children. However, immunity to these diseases wears off and adolescents may be vulnerable to the highly contagious disease without a booster.
Approximately 3 million school children will be affected by the Tdap requirement, so it’s important to avoid the summer rush and to get children vaccinated now.

OLPH PARENTS: Please be aware that we must receive documentation of immunization against pertussis for ALL STUDENTS ENTERING 7TH & 8TH GRADE NO LATER THAN AUGUST 8, 2011.

Tomorrow students in grades 5 and 6 will be Wear Jeans and Jerseys for Japan Day. Because of their field trips, our 5th and 6th grade students missed this opportunity to participate in this worthy cause. We ask these students to wear jeans and jerseys and contribute $2.00 dollars to assist the relief efforts in Japan. All money collected for this event will be sent to Catholic Relief Services. Last month our students in grades k-4 and 7 & 8 brought in $500.
Here’s what we’ve learned in chapter 4. Click here for notes.
