CAL YOUNG MIDDLE SCHOOL DECEMBER 2008
Tdap booster shot REQUIRED for 7 th graders
By February 18, 2009, all 7 th graders will be required to have documentation of this shot.
Courtesy notices were mailed in November, if we do not already have the date on file. The
Health Department will issue Exclusion orders in February.
We do need written verification of booster shots in order to update the required Oregon
Certificate of Immunization Status in the school health records. If you received a courtesy notice, please return it as soon as
you can, signed and dated.
This vaccine contains protection against pertussis, or whooping cough. Pertussis is a disease that can be transmitted by
adolescents and adults to babies and can cause severe illness, even death. The vaccine protection that Kindergartners have
against pertussis generally provides little, if any, protection by the time a child is in 7 th grade. Doctors have already been
recommending this booster shot for several years
This vaccine is also available for adults as the next tetanus booster is due, so ask your health care provider for more
information!

My School’s Health Center clinic
Who may visit?
All Eugene and Bethel students (including home schools,
private and homeless kids), as well as the students’ siblings,
ranging in age from birth to 19, may be seen at My School’s
Health Center.
What can students be seen for?
Any general health issues or concerns—including mental
healthcare—that would be attended to by a traditional family
or pediatric practitioner. If the patient needs more specialized
care, staff will refer him or her to a specialist, including a dentist
or optometrist. The clinics are also able to refer patients,
as needed, to other sources of low cost healthcare.
