Notice from School NurseClick here for PDF version of letter for printing Dear Parents/Guardians of Children Entering Preschool in the Fall: The Tennessee Department of Health has recently issued new immunization requirements and is issuing a new Certificate of Immunization form that is required for entry into school for all pre-school, kindergarten, 7th grade, and new students, effective July 1, 2010. Complete details from the state can be seen at the Athens City Schools website (athenscityschools.net—click on “School Nurse and Health Information”—then click on “Parent Letter…”) Rising pre-schoolers must show proof of the following vaccines in order to attend school in the Fall of 2013: - 3 or 4 DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis) (your doctor or health care provider will decide this) - 3 IPV/OPV (polio) - 3 HBV (hepatitis B) (new requirement) - 4 Hib (haemophilus influenzae type B) - 4 PCV (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine) (new requirement) - 1 MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) - 1 Varicella (chickenpox) - 1 HAV (Hepatitis A) (new requirement) ***You may want to take this letter with you when you go to your child’s healthcare provider*** In addition, all immunizations must be recorded on the new Certificate of Immunization form. This form available at your private health care provider's office or the local health department. A complete school physical examination performed by your primary health care provider is also required before school entry; proof of that physical will be recorded on that same new certificate. PLEASE MAKE APPOINTMENTS FOR THESE PHYSICALS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE; the later you wait, the less likely you will be able to meet this requirement. As always, if you have any questions about this or any other health care issues, please feel free to call me. The phone number at Ingleside is 745-3671, and at City Park the number is 745-3862. I will be glad to help you in any way I can. Connie Akers, BSN, RN
