Governor Jerry Brown has signed SB-614 into law. That means that parents of high school students have a little more time to make sure their children get their Whooping Cough shots. The new law allows schools to conditionally admit 7th through 12th grade students who can’t show proof of their pertussis shots on the first day of school this fall.
Those students will have up to 30 more days to get the necessary shot, and bring their medical paperwork to their schools.
