July 31, 2012 - PRLog -- Before the start of the 2012-2013 school year parents are reminded to check immunization and school physical requirements. Avoid longer lines and wait times during the annual end of summer rush. Now is the time to prepare for the upcoming school year by reviewing students’ immunization records and updating any required vaccines and scheduling school physicals. The 2012-2013 school year now requires eleventh grade students to have proof of a Varicella (Chickenpox) vaccine.  Seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth graders will need proof of a Tetanus/Diphtheria/Pertussis (Tdap) Booster and all students should have received other vaccines like Mumps, Measles, Rubella, Hepatitis B, Polio and their form 680 on file as proof of receipt. Over the next several weeks the Palm Beach County Health Department will be conducting immunization outreaches to help parents and children get vaccinated and their records up to date. In addition to immunizations being offered at the Health Centers throughout the county, outreaches with the immunization van include the following locations:
