Attention Parents of Sixth Grade Students!
It is not too early for your child to receive the tetanus-diphtheria (Td)
booster needed for
7th grade entry.  Please contact your child’s doctor or call the Leon
County Health Department at 487-3155 to schedule an immunization
appointment.  This childhood immunization is free at the health department.
Once your child has received this immunization, please bring the necessary
documentation - on a Florida Certificate of Immunization (DH 680 form) – to
Mrs. Roberson in the main office at Nims Middle School.  Thank you!



LEON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
SCHEDULES SPECIAL IMMUNIZATION CLINICS
TARGETING SIXTH GRADE STUDENTS

Florida students presently attending sixth grade must have documentation of
a tetanus-diphtheria (Td) booster prior to entering seventh grade.  The two
other vaccination requirements for seventh grade entry – the hepatitis B
vaccine series and a second measles vaccine – are also required for sixth
grade attendance and should already be completed by sixth grade
students.

The Leon County Health Department will be providing two special
immunization clinics targeting sixth grade students needing immunizations
for seventh grade attendance.  These clinics will provide free
immunizations for students needing immunizations for school attendance.
Infants and young children needing immunizations may also be immunized at
these two special clinics.  No appointment is needed for children to be
immunized during these free special immunization clinics.
