TARGET AUDIENCE PROGRAM OBJECTIVES PROGRAM

Each school year is a new beginning –– and this year, in Illinois, to start the year healthy, your students need to know about important
new immunization requirements.
That’s why Young Minds Inspired has teamed with Walgreens to produce Go Back Healthy, a free health education program that is
designed to help you remind your students and their parents about the new Illinois State Board of Education requirement that
all students in grades 6-12 receive one Tdap vaccination against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis by October 15, 2013.
Go Back Healthy includes a colorful wall poster, a fun activity that will help you make immunization top-of-mind for students, and
take-home handouts (in English and Spanish) that inform parents about the October 15 deadline for meeting the new state Tdap
vaccination requirement, and remind them that this vaccination is available at all Walgreens pharmacies and Healthcare Clinics,
with no appointment necessary. Should you need more handouts, please visit ymiclassroom.com/go-back-healthy for a
downloadable PDF take-home letter that you can photocopy or distribute to parents by email.
In a few weeks, we will be sending you a second health education program, designed to help you reinforce the
importance of keeping immunizations up to date and motivate your students to stay healthy all year long by setting goals
for an active, self-confident lifestyle. Look for this program in your mailbox, or visit ymiclassroom.com to download the
program in PDF.
We hope that you will share Go Back Healthy with every health educator at your school. Although this program is copyrighted,
you may make as many copies as needed for educational purposes.
Please let us know your opinion of this program by returning the enclosed reply card or by commenting online at
ymiclassroom.com/go-back-healthy. We value your feedback and depend on your input to continue providing free educational
programs that make a real difference in students’ lives.
Sincerely,

Student Health Activity
Back-to-School Immunizations
Use this activity to alert students to the new Illinois
state Tdap vaccination requirement and the October
15, 2013 deadline. The activity informs students
about the diseases prevented by the Tdap vaccine
and other vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) that
pose a special risk for teens and pre-teens. The
activity also mobilizes students to help ensure
compliance with the new Illinois state requirement by
challenging them to organize an “I got Tdapped!”
public awareness campaign at your school.
Answers:
1. True: For example, Illinois saw more than twice
as many reported cases of pertussis in 2012
than in the preceding year (www.cdc.gov/
pertussis/outbreaks/trends.html).
2. False: Each year, new flu vaccines are
produced to meet the most highly anticipated strain of flu predicted by the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. The flu vaccine
is effective only in the year in which it is given.
3. False: HPV (human papillomavirus) is the
most common sexually transmitted virus in the
U.S. Although its effects predominate in
females between ages 15 and 24, it can affect
both males and females, and everyone between
ages 11 and 26 should be vaccinated.
4. False: Meningitis, or meningococcal disease, can
be spread anywhere by coughing and sneezing. It
is a potentially fatal bacterial infection that can
cause as many as 20 percent of those who survive
to have serious long-term medical complications.
5. True: Vaccinations can be administered by
specially trained health professionals such as
your Walgreens pharmacist.
6. True: Whooping cough is an infection of the
respiratory system that causes uncontrollable
coughing.
7. False: If a wound gets infected, there is still a
30 percent chance of serious health
complications. That’s part of why getting the
Tdap shot is important.
8. True: The thick, congestive coating caused by
diphtheria can block airway passages and lead
to paralysis, heart failure, coma, or death.

At your age, you might think that you’re done getting shots to protect you from diseases — that’s baby stuff!
But the truth is, kids your age still need protection. And in Illinois, it’s now required that all kids your age get a
Tdap shot before October 15, 2013, in order to stay in school.
What’s a Tdap shot? It’s a vaccine that protects you against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis — just look at
the first letters of those last four words and you’ll get it.
PART 1 Want to learn more? Take this true/false quiz. You’ll find out why it’s wise to
get immunized so you can go back to school healthy!
_____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ 1. Illinois now requires middle school and high school students to get the Tdap vaccine
because there has been an increase in cases of pertussis over the past 6 years.
2. A flu shot helps protect you from getting the flu for up to five years.
3. HPV immunizations are only for females.
4. Meningitis only occurs in tropical countries.
5. You don’t have to go to the doctor to get a vaccination.
6. Pertussis is another name for whooping cough.
7. Complications from tetanus can be eliminated if you put some anti-bacterial
ointment on an open wound.
_____ 8. Diphtheria can result if a nasty cold is left untreated.
PART2 Make sure all your friends and classmates get the Tdap vaccine before this year’s October 15
deadline. Start an “I got Tdapped!” campaign. Create posters and fliers, send texts and tweets, or
hand out “I got Tdapped!” stickers or wristbands to students who have met the
requirement. You could even set up a class vs. class competition in each
grade to get everyone Tdapped before the deadline. Remember — kids
who don’t get Tdapped in time will be subject to exclusion from school.
Keep your school community strong by helping every student start the
year healthy.
Are all your immunizations up to date?
Be wise and talk with a parent or guardian about getting the
immunizations you need. Check your medical records against this
Recommended Immunizations chart available at the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention website, www.cdc.gov/vaccines/who/teens/ downloads/parent-version-schedule-7-18yrs.pdf.

October 15 is the deadline for having your child receive the Tdap vaccine.
Dear Parent or Guardian,
You know that keeping up with immunizations is just as important for your child as it was when he or she was little. But you may not know that
this year your child must be immunized to remain in school.
The Illinois State Board of Education has recently mandated that all students in grades 6-12 receive one Tdap vaccination against tetanus, diphtheria, and
pertussis. All students must show proof of having received this vaccination, must have an appointment to get the vaccine, or have an approved medical or
religious exemption on file by October 15, 2013, or they will be subject to exclusion from school until they meet the requirement. Even 6th and 9th grade
students who received the Tdap vaccine last year or earlier need to show proof of having received the vaccine previously.
To help you meet this requirement, Walgreens pharmacies and Healthcare Clinics at select Walgreens offer the Tdap vaccine with no appointment
necessary, making it easier than ever for you to get your child immunized before the October 15 deadline. Walgreens immunization-trained
pharmacists and Healthcare Clinic board-certified family nurse practitioners will administer the Tdap vaccine anytime the pharmacy or clinic is open,
and most health insurance is accepted. In addition, your Walgreens pharmacist can conduct an immunization assessment to help assure that your
child’s immunizations are all up-to-date, and your child can receive all recommended vaccines that same day.
What vaccines are recommended for adolescents? In addition to the Tdap vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also
recommends immunization against meningococcal disease, HPV infection, and influenza.
• Meningococcal disease, or meningitis, is a bacterial infection that, while rare, can lead to death in as little as 24 hours from the start of
symptoms. It can also cause hearing loss, brain damage, and learning disabilities –– and it spreads fast.
• HPV (human papillomavirus) is the most common sexually transmitted virus in the U.S. Although its effects predominate in females between ages
15 and 24, it can affect both males and females, and the CDC recommends that everyone between ages 11 and 26 should be vaccinated.
• Influenza, or "the flu," can cause serious respiratory symptoms, taking students out of school for a week or more. New strains of flu virus appear
every year, which means that flu vaccinations should occur annually. In addition to the standard flu vaccine, all Walgreens locations also have the
needle-free nasal-spray flu vaccine available.
Your child has been learning about the importance of these immunizations in school. If you need more information about Walgreens immunization
services, please visit walgreens.com/gobackhealthy, or talk to your local pharmacist or Healthcare Clinic nurse practitioner.

El 15 de octubre es la fecha límite para que su hijo reciba la vacuna Tdap.
Estimado padre, madre o tutor:
Usted sabe que mantenerse al día con la vacunación de su hijo es tan importante ahora como cuando era pequeño. Pero tal vez no sepa que este año su hijo debe
recibir una vacuna para continuar en la escuela.
Recientemente, el Consejo de Educación del Estado de Illinois determinó que todos los alumnos de 6.° a 12.° grado deben recibir la vacuna Tdap
contra el tétanos, la difteria y la tos ferina. Todos los alumnos deben presentar el certificado de vacunación, deben tener programada una cita para
la aplicación de la vacuna o deben presentar y obtener la aprobación de exención por motivos religiosos o médicos antes del 15 de octubre de
2013. De lo contrario, estarán sujetos a la exclusión de la escuela hasta tanto cumplan con el requisito. Incluso los alumnos de 6.° y 9.° grado que hayan
recibido la vacuna Tdap el año pasado o antes deben presentar una constancia de que han recibido la vacuna con anterioridad.

• La enfermedad meningocócica (o meningitis) es una infección bacteriana que, si bien no es común, puede causar la muerte en un lapso de tan solo 24 horas
desde la aparición de los síntomas. También puede ocasionar pérdida de la audición, daño cerebral y discapacidades en el aprendizaje –– y se propaga rápidamente.
• El VPH (virus del papiloma humano) es el virus de transmisión sexual más común en los EE. UU. Si bien sus efectos predominan en mujeres de 15 a 24 años, puede
afectar tanto a hombres como mujeres, y los CDC recomiendan que todas las personas de entre 11 y 26 años reciban la vacuna.
• La gripe puede causar síntomas respiratorios graves e impedir que los alumnos asistan a la escuela durante una semana o más. Cada año aparecen nuevas
cepas del virus de la gripe, razón por la cual la vacunación contra la gripe debe ser anual. Además de la vacuna contra la gripe estándar, todos los centros
Walgreens también cuentan con la vacuna contra la gripe en aerosol nasal de aplicación sin inyección.
