Silverado High School

All students entering grades 7 through 12 will be required to provide documentation of having obtained a pertussis (Tdap) vaccine booster prior to entering school on the first day of the 2011-12 school year (California Law-Assembly Bill 354)

Where Can Your Student Get the Required DTAP immunization?

Children should visit their regular doctor or health care provider to get their Tdap shot and other immunizations as soon as possible to avoid the back-to-school rush. The Vaccines for Children Program (VFC) offers free or low cost vaccines for eligible patients 18 years and younger. If your child/student is eligible for Medi-Cal, you can find a VFC provider near you by visiting http://shotsforschool.org/parentinfo.html#vfc_locations or calling 1-877-243-8832. For uninsured or underinsured patients, parents can find a list of federally qualified health centers in their area at http://www.oshpd.ca.gov/RHPC/Clinics/FQHCS.html. Some local health departments and pharmacies may also offer the Tdap vaccine and other immunizations. For more information, please contact your local health department or check out the Tdap Vaccine Availability by County list.
