Nashville, TN – Seventh-graders across Tennessee will be required to have two additional immunization shots before returning to school in the fall. The Tennessee Department of Health recently announced new immunization requirements and a new immunization certificate that students will need. The two vaccines seventh-graders must have are the tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis booster and a second dose of the chicken pox, vaccine.
Public Health Department spokesman Brian Todd says the state is following recommendations by the federal Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
