TDAP CLINICS COME TO MISSION BAY HIGH MONDAY, TUESDAY
SAN DIEGO -- Parents of students in grades 7-12 can bring their children
to receive the pertussis booster shot or a vaccination against the disease
at Mission Bay High School Monday and Tuesday next week, as the County of
San Diego Health and Human Services Agency holds a clinic.
The shots will be available from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. both days at the school,
2475 Grand Ave. in Pacific Beach.
Pertussis is a highly contagious disease that can spread quickly and can
be deadly, especially to children. In 2010, two local infants died from
complications of the disease. A new state law requires all students in
grades 7-12 to show proof of having received the pertussis booster shot,
or Tdap, in order to enroll in school. Parents have up to 30 days to meet
the requirement.
For more information about Tdap or the vaccination clinics, visit
www.sdiz.org or call 2-1-1.
