Requirement for Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis (Tdap) for Entry and Attendance in 7th Grade
The Florida Department of Health Bureau of Immunization would like to remind all immunization partners about the upcoming school immunization requirement effective for the 2009/2010 school year for students entering 7th grade.
Effective School Year 2009/2010:
Students entering, repeating or transferring into 7th grade will need to provide documentation for the Tdap vaccine.
This requirement is in addition to the previous immunization requirements that are grade-appropriate.
Students who received a dose of Td vaccine 2 to 5 years prior to entering 7th grade should be given a Temporary Medical Exemption (TME) and immunized at the appropriate time. The timeline for the TME must be no longer than 5 years from the last tetanus diphtheria containing vaccine. Please note: that a dose of Tdap can be given within 2 years of receiving a dose of Td vaccine, regardless of a child’s TME status, when there is a risk of exposure to pertussis.
The Tdap can be administered to students 10 years of age and above if prior Td booster was given at least 2 years ago. Recommendations for provision of the Tdap vaccine are in accordance with the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
The Department of Education is updating their electronic system to incorporate the following: In order to assist districts in recording the needed immunization information, two codes (P and Q) have been added to the Vaccine Status element.
These codes are optional for 2008/09 but should be useful as staff prepares for the requirements of 2009/2010. Therefore, for the 2009/2010 school year, only codes ‘P’ (Tdap) and ‘Q’ (Td) will be acceptable for students entering 7th grade. Please contact Nada Scott at Nada.Scott@fldoe.org if you have questions about this coding change.
The updated codes will also be reflected in Florida SHOTS as well as on the updated Certificate of Immunization (DH 680). The Bureau will send out notification when the paper version of the updated 680 is available in the warehouse.
Please distribute this information to colleagues, members, coalitions, and partners with an interest in the administration of the Tdap vaccine. Place this information prominently on your website. Contact Phyllis Yambor at 850-245-4342 for questions regarding the vaccine recommendations.

Florida SHOTS
(State Health Online Tracking System)
What is Florida SHOTS ?
Florida SHOTS is a statewide centralized electronic immunization registry that is authorized by section 381.003, F.S. The purpose of Florida SHOTS is to help parents and health care providers keep track of immunization records. Most importantly, keeping track of immunization records helps ensure that children receive all vaccinations needed to protect them from dangerous vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, mumps, diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae, polio, varicella, tetanus, rubella, hepatitis B and others.
