In addition to compliance with all required immunizations, students entering, attending, or transferring to 7th grade in Florida schools must have the following vaccines to start 7th grade:
Tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap) vaccine
If your child has already received these immunizations, you must provide the school with proof on a fully completed Florida Certificate of Immunization form (DH 680).
If your child has not received these immunizations, please contact your child's medical provider or a Health Department Immunization site right away.
Only those students who have documentation of completing these immunization requirements (or have documentation of a valid medical or religious exemption) will be allowed to start 7th grade.
If you do not have a medical provider, contact the Health Department at (904) 253-1000. See the Immunization Clinic Information below for locations and phone numbers.
