Dear Parent/Guardian: Whooping cough, also known as pertussis

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 in order to attend classes in the 2016-2017 School year. Students will not
be allowed to attend classes without a shot record.
Starting January 1. 2016, exemptions based on personal beliefs, including religious beliefs, are
no longer allowed. We need a booster shot record from your child. If he/she hasn’t had a
booster shot yet, please schedule an appointment immediately with your regular doctor.
The vaccine may be available at these local areas:
 FUSD Comprehensive Health Clinic: (909)357-7600 Ext: 29327.
 Department of Public Health
(800)782-4264 (909)387-6359 TDD
 Your child’s regular doctor
If your child has already received the booster shot, please give a copy of the shot record to
your student’s school health office immediately.
Feel free to call us with any questions or concerns. Our phone number is (909)357-7600 Ext:
29327.

Estimado Padre de Familia/Tutor:
La toz ferina, también conocida como pertussis, continúa amenazando a nuestros estudiantes
en California. Para parar su propagación, se requiere que todos los estudiantes que están
ingresando al 7o grado presenten un comprobante que han recibido la vacuna Tdap para asistir
a la escuela en el año escolar 2016-2017. No se permitirá que los estudiantes asistan a clases
sin un comprobante de vacunas.
Empezando el primero de enero de 2016, no se permitirán las exenciones basadas en
creencias personales, esto incluye creencias religiosas. Necesitamos un comprobante de
vacunas para su niño. Si su niño no ha recibido la vacuna, por favor haga una cita
inmediatamente con su doctor.
La vacuna está disponible localmente en:
 La clínica del distrito (FUSD Comprehensive Health Clinic) (909)357-7600 Ext: 29327.
 El Departamento de la Salud Pública (Department of Public Health )
(800)782-4264 (909)387-6359 TDD
 El doctor de su niño
SI su niño ya recibió la vacuna, por favor entréguele una copia del
comprobante a la escuela de su niño inmediatamente.
Comuníquese con nosotros si tiene cualquier pregunta o preocupación. Nuestro número de
