Pertussis (Whooping Cough) Vaccine Requirement
Information on AB 354, pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine booster (Tdap) requirement, and resources for local educational agencies and parents/guardians.
On July 1, 2012, AB 354 will require only students who are entering or advancing into grades seven to twelve to show proof of immunization with a pertussis booster vaccine (on or after the seventh birthday). Immunization with Tdap can protect students who have not yet been immunized against the ongoing risk of pertussis and meets the forthcoming requirement for the 2011-12 school year.
