Rocklin Unified School District - 7th Grade Requirement

Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, continues to threaten students in California. To help stop its spread, all incoming 7^th graders are required by law to have proof of a whooping cough booster (Tdap) shot, or file an exemption, in order to attend classes this year. Students will not be allowed to attend classes without a shot record.

Please submit an immunization record for your students who will be entering the 7^th grade next year. The immunization needs to have been given on or after your child’s 7^th birthday. If your child hasn’t received this immunization yet, please schedule an appointment immediately with your regular doctor.

Vaccine may also be available at:
