The Florida Department of Health and the Department of Education require all students entering 7th grade to have a Tdap booster (adult strength tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccine or have a related exemption form on file at the school. This vaccine can be obtained from your child’s health care provider. Required vaccines are also available at the Florida Department of Health in Seminole County for students with Medicaid, without insurance or if insurance does not cover vaccines, or for those unable to obtain them through a private provider. Please call 407-665-3700 to schedule an appointment at the local Department of Health. An administrative processing fee will apply.

If you only need a vaccine record, please visit the DOH online and have your record returned to you via their secure online portal:
