Carver/Century, Ernest Ward Students To Get Health Letters
April 29, 2009
Parents and guardians of sixth grade students at Ernest Ward Middle and Carver/Century K-8 schools will receive a letter today outlining the need to obtain a Tdap shot before the student can attend seventh grade.
“Students will not be allowed to start the 2009-2010 school year until they have received the shot and submitted their blue card ,” according to Rebekah Fore, RN from Ernest Ward Middle School.
The tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis shots are available from the student’s doctor or free of charge from the Escambia County Health Department. The requirement to have the Tdap shot prior to seventh grade pertains to all students in Florida public schools.
If you have questions about the requirement, call the EWMS clinic at 327-4283 ext. 225
