New Immunization Requirements for Students Entering Grades 6-12

With whooping cough, or pertussis, continuing to occur in Illinois, the state has expanded vaccination requirements to combat the health threat.

All students entering grades 6 and 9 for the 2012-13 school year will be required to present proof of receiving a dose of Tdap, the whooping cough booster, if they are to attend classes.
