Also, here is related information from the Mississippi State Department of Health:

If your child is entering the seventh grade, either by advancing or transferring in, a pertussis (Tdap) booster is now required if they have not received a Tdap vaccination since the age of seven.

Vaccinations are available from the health department clinic in any county, or from your medical provider.

This is also a good time to consider HPV vaccination for your teen. HPV is an easily-spread virus that can lead to cervical cancer and other cancers in men and women. Vaccination now provides highly effective protection in later years.
