School’s health office now accepting Tdap booster documentation from current 6th graders for the 2024-25 school year
The State of Oklahoma requires all students entering the 7th grade to receive one Tdap booster for immunization against tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis.
Parents/guardians are encouraged to contact their child’s healthcare provider to arrange for this immunization. Please do not confuse the mandated Tdap booster with other required childhood vaccinations. If the student has already received the Tdap vaccination booster, he/she will not require an additional vaccination.
Students currently in 6th grade can now begin to receive the Tdap immunization. After receiving the Tdap, please provide Nurse Waits with the proper documentation of the immunization. Please contact Nurse Waits at dwaits@baschools.org for any questions.
