The Alabama Department of Public Health REQUIRES that ALL students 11 years and older entering the 6^th grade in the fall of 2019 receive a Tdap (tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis) vaccine. (The law does not apply to students who will not be 11 or 12 years old entering the 6^th grade on August 7, 2019.)

REMEMBER: This vaccine is required, and your child must receive the Tdap vaccine and present and updated CERTIFICATE OF IMMUNIZATION (COI) to the nurse before August 7th or he/she will not be given a class schedule.

*We require a hard copy of the COI. We do not print COI from ImmPRINT. You must request a copy from your child's doctor, clinic, or health department.
