Vaccination documents are due by FRIDAY

All HJUHSD students need to provide documentation of their Tdap booster shot to their school office BY THIS FRIDAY.

All California 7th-12th grade students are now required to get a Tdap booster shot to be enrolled in school. By State law, students who do not have their Tdap vaccinations on file at their school by this Friday will NOT BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND SCHOOL until they provide that documentation.

The Tdap vaccination protects against Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Whooping Cough (Pertussis). (For 2012-13 and beyond, only students entering 7th grade will need proof of a Tdap shot.)

Students should visit their health care provider to get their shots. Children 18 and younger who are uninsured or under-insured may qualify for the Vaccines for Children Program to get free or low cost immunization services. To find a provider near you, call 1-877-243-8832 or visit: www.eziz.org/pages/vfc_locations2.html.

Some local pharmacies and health departments may also offer vaccines. For more information, please visit ShotsForSchool.org.

Nueva Regla: Antes de la Escuela - Vacuna REQUERIDA 

Se que todos lost estudiantes de 7° a 12° grado obtengan la vacuna contra la tos ferina antes de VIERNES!


Tdap ofrece excelente protección contra tres enfermedades peligrosas: el tétanos, la difteria y la tos ferina (también conocida como pertussis). Los casos de tos ferina han estado aumentando en los EE.UU. Continua extendiéndose en California. Únicamente para el año escolar 2011-12, los estudiantes que ingresan al 7˚ al 12˚ grado necesitarán un comprobante de que recibieron la vacuna Tdap antes de comenzar la escuela. A partir del año siguiente 2012-13 y en adelante, solamente los niños ingresando al 7˚ grado necesitarán un comprobante de la vacuna Tdap. Los niños deben visitar a su doctor o proveedor de servicios de salud para vacunarse.

Los niños menores de 18 años de edad sub-asegurados (sus seguros de salud no cubren las vacunas) o sin seguro de salud pueden calificar para el Programa de Vacunas para Niños para obtener servicios de vacunación gratis o de bajo costo. Para encontrar a un doctor participante cerca de usted llame al 1-877-243-8832 o visite: http://vacunasymisalud.org/programa-de-vacunas/.
