Parents/Guardians,
Reminder for the upcoming school year: check your child’s immunization record to ensure compliance with SC State Law requirements for attending school. An updated SC Certificate of Immunization (or a medical/religious exemption form) should be turned into your school nurse with any updates/changes. Rising 7th graders should receive a Tdap vaccination on or after their 10th birthday to be compliant to attend 7th grade. If you have any questions, please contact your school nurse. Talk to your child’s health care provider about which vaccines he or she may need. Your local DHEC health department can also provide vaccines. The Abbeville County Health Dept hours of operation are Tues/Thur/Fri 8a-5:30p, call 864-366-2131 or toll free 855-472-3432 to schedule an appointment.
