Tdap Requirements
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, continues to threaten students in California. To help stop its spread, all incoming 7th graders are required by law to have proof of a whooping cough booster (‘Tdap’) shot, or file an exemption, in order to attend classes this year. Students will not be allowed to attend classes without a shot record.
Please schedule an appointment immediately with your doctor, or visit this website for information regarding local clinics/facilities in our area that provide the Tdap booster.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Marcela Gaia, Sowers Health Clerk at 714/962-7738 ext. 5086.
Thank you,
Cynthia Guerrero, Ed.D.
