Union City, Tenn.–Incoming seventh-graders at Union City Middle School are required under Tennessee Law for Immunization to have a booster dose of the Tdap vaccine as they begin the 2020-21 school year.
UCMS health officials will be providing the Tdap vaccine for students on site sometime within the first two weeks of the coming school year.
Students may also receive the shot at their local health care provider’s office, local pharmacies and/or the local health department, according to Union City Middle School Principal Lance Morgan. He did advise students to make their appointments in advance, as slots to receive the vaccine fill quickly.
