 Pertussis – also known as whooping cough – sickens hundreds of Ohioans every year. Pertussis is preventable!

During the week of August 9-13, 2010, the Medina County Health Department is dedicating Public Health Nurses to provide back-to-school immunizations, including Tdap.

Please note that all seventh graders entering school in the State of Ohio during 2010 will be required to have received a single dose of Tdap. A single dose of the vaccine is also recommended for all other adolescents who have not yet received Tdap vaccine or Td booster, and adults 19 to 64 years of age. It is especially important for those who have direct contact with infants 12 months of age and younger, such as parents, grandparents, childcare providers, and healthcare workers.

Call 330-723-9688 or toll-free at 1-888-723-9688 to schedule your appointment.

Students Entering 7th Grade in the 2010-2011 School Year MUST Have Received a BOOSTER IMMUNIZATION BEFORE They Should Be Permitted To Attend School In The Fall  (ORC-3313).

ü The addition of a diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (Tdap) booster for seventh-grade students. 

ü The addition of a second dose of varicella (a progressive requirement starting with kindergarten for 2010); and  

ü The fourth dose of polio being administered on or after the fourth birthday.

The most significant change is the Tdap booster for incoming seventh-grade students, because currently only 30 percent of these students have received this inoculation!

The Medina County Health Department Division of Public Health Nursing is working with each school district to provide immunizations. Call 330-723-9688 or toll-fee at 1-888-723-9688 for details, or contact your school.

You may also call to make an appointment at the Health Department to keep your child up-to-date with his/her immunizations.
