Dear Parent,
The Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County's Immunization Program would like to
inform you that most children are due for their booster vaccine by the time they are eleven years of age.·
111ey will not be permitted into school in seventh (71h) grade without it.
Parents who wait until the summer to take their children for the Back-to-School vaccine
requirements will have difficulty scheduling an appointment with their pediatrician. During those
months, many private healthcare providers' offices, as well as our own health department clinics, arc
overcrowded with back-to-school rush for immunizations. This is especially important for the mandatory
requirement for 71h grade entrv which includes:
•
•
One tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap)
Second dose of Varicella (VZV) if previously not received
There are other vaccines recommended for your child which include: meningococcal, human
papillomavirus and hepatitis A. Therefore, we are asking you to take your 61h grade child to schedule a
visit with his/her private healthcare provider or one of the health department clinics as early as possible
so that he/she will be prepared before the next school year begins. If your child does not have a
pediatrician, the Florida Department of Health in Miami-Dade County offers free immunizations to all
children less than 19 years of age. To schedule an appointment call: 786-845-0550. Thank you so much
for your support and for keeping Miami-Dade County healthy.
~Please remember, if you have another child entering school for the first time the schools will also
require his or her immunizatiqn records to be current and placed on the proper school forms.
Sincerely,
Florida Department of Healtfr

Estimado padre,
El programa de lnmunizacion del Florida Departamento de Salud en cl Condado de Miami-Dade dcsca
informarle que a Ia edad de once afios, Ia mayoria de los nifios necesitan recibir el refuerzo de sus vacunas. Los
alumnos de septimo (7°) grado no seran admitidos en Ia escuela si no han recibido las vacunas requeridas.
Los padres que esperen hasta el verano para llevar a sus hijos a recibir las vacunas requeridas para el regreso a Ia
escuela, podran encontrar mucha dificultad para obtener una cita con su pediatra debido a que durante esos

concuiTidas atendiendo Ia demanda de vacunaci6n para el regreso a Ia cscucla.
Es de gran importancia cumplir con los requisites obligatorios para entrar al septimo (7°) grado, lo cual incluye:
