A Message From the School Nurse to All Current TGMS 6th Grade Students
Per the Ohio Department of Health, all students entering grade 7 in 2023 must show
proof of vaccination against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap vaccine) and
meningococcal disease (MCV4 vaccine). If your child has already received these
vaccines, please send an updated immunization record to the school nurse, Tami
Tackett, RN. The record can be faxed to 614-834-6420 or emailed
to tami_tackett@plsd.us. Please see attached letter.
You may take the letter (located below) with you to your child’s doctor to use as
documentation of these vaccinations, or you may submit an immunization report with
the dates of both vaccinations. Please return this documentation as soon as possible
to your child’s school nurse. If this is not provided during the 6 th grade school year, you
will need to send this information to the junior high that your child will attend prior to the
beginning of next school year.
The Nationwide Children’s Hospital Mobile Clinic comes to some of the PLSD schools
on certain Wednesdays of each month. Immunizations can be completed at the NCH
Mobile Clinic, but know that parents are responsible for taking their child to the Mobile
Unit for this service. Currently, the Mobile Clinic is scheduled to be at Harmon Middle
School on Wednesday, February 1st and Tussing Elementary on Wednesday,
February 8th.
If you are interested in this service, please contact your child’s school nurse at:
614-834-6408 or at the email above.
Thank you,
Tami Tackett, BSN, RN, School Nurse
