*Important Immunization Reminder*
We do not want to exclude your child from school in August!
The state of Maryland mandates certain vaccination requirements for students entering 7th grade.
Prior to the 2023 - 2024 school year, your rising 7th grade student MUST have the following:
*Tdap is not the same as the other Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis vaccines called DPT or DTaP. Even if your child has received DPT or DTaP in the past they will still need a single dose of Tdap.*
We encourage you to make your child’s appointment now to avoid the summer rush. Please bring the vaccination documentation to school or email the Health Room at rebecca.fritz@fcps.org as soon as possible.
If you have any questions about the new vaccination requirements, please contact your child’s health care provider or WKMS - Health Room (240)236-4974.
