Important Updates
New Whooping Cough (Pertussis) Immunization Requirements for
Students in Grades 7-12
Starting in July 2011, a new state law (AB 354) goes into effect
that changes California's immunization requirements for all
students entering grades 7-12. The new law requires the
following:
(1) Beginning in the 2011-12 school year, all students entering
into any grade from 7th through 12th will need proof of an
adolescent whooping cough booster shot (called "Tdap") before
starting school.
(2) For the next school year (2012-13) and all future school years,
all students entering into the 7th grade only will need proof of a
"Tdap" shot to start school.
