Immunizations!

7th grade immunizations

Be Ready For Seventh Grade -- Get your Immunizations! -- A reminder to 6th grade parents that your child will need a Tdap vaccine before he or she begins 7th grade. These can be obtained privately or at the Okaloosa County Health Department at no charge. Please bring proof of this immunization (on a Florida Certificate of Immunization Form DH680) to the school Front Office so it may be entered in the system before their 7th grade school year.

The CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend every child continues to receive routine vaccinations during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Please Note: Your student's certificate of immunization card must be updated by your medical caregiver -- we cannot do it at the school. You may check with the school and receive a copy of the current immunization record to take with you to your appointment.
