Per Florida Statute 1003.22, all 7th grade students must have a Tdap vaccine documented in Focus and be coded with an immunization status of “Permanent Immunization Documenting Seventh Grade Requirements [8]”, unless they have provided the school with one of the following exemptions:
Temporary Medical Exemption on a DH680 form (with an expiration date that is current)
Permanent Medical Exemption on a DH680 form
Religious Exemption on a DH681 form
Students who do not meet this state mandate should be excluded from school at the start of winter break and not allowed to return until the required immunizations or appropriate documentation have been submitted to the school
