GREETINGS FROM OAK HILL SCHOOL HEALTH TEAM
Our goal is to ensure that your student will enjoy a safe and
healthful school year. Please read the following information carefully,
and feel free to call your School Health Aide, Vicki Franks, at
703-467-3510 or your School Public Health Nurse, Holly Brenneman,
at 571-722-5778 if you have any questions.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL UP COMING 6TH GRADERS….Tdap
Vaccine
Prior to entering sixth grade, if at least five years have passed
since they have had the last dose of tetanus toxoid-containing
vaccine, all students in Virginia must receive a Tdap vaccine
when they turn 11 years old. Please check your child's immunization
records carefully and contact your doctor if you have any questions.
If the eleventh birthday is after the first day of school (September
7, 2010), your child must have a medical exemption from the doctor
stating when he or she will receive the Tdap. We ask that when
your child receives the vaccine that you provide documentation
to the school as soon as possible. It is most important that you
attend to this matter as soon as possible as sixth graders cannot
begin school in the fall without documentation of having had the
Tdap booster or provide a medical exemption. If you have any questions,
please contact the school public health nurse, Holly Brenneman,
at 571-722-5778.
