All students entering 7th grade will need proof of a whooping cough booster (called “Tdap”) for school in the fall.Whooping cough is an illness that is easy to catch and can be severe and last for months. The protection received from early childhood shots wears off over time, leaving older students and adults susceptible to the illness. A Tdap booster shot can protect students, schools, and communities against this disease.
