School’s health office now accepting Tdap booster documentation from current 6th graders for the new 2023-24 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 as soon as possible 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.
Current 6th grade students will need to provide their school with a copy of their immunization record showing completion of the Tdap booster.
A scanned copy of the student's immunization record can be emailed to:
Nurse Scott at escott@baschools.org
If there are any questions about the Tdap booster, please contact Nurse Scott at escott@baschools.org.
