The Junior High Track and Field parent meeting is on February 28 at 5:30 PM in the cafeteria.
Información sobre vacunas para estudiantes A partir de los 7 a los 18 años, los niños y adolescentes necesitan una serie de vacunas importantes para protegerse. El estado de Kansas tiene las siguientes vacunas requeridas para la continuación de los niños en edad escolar. 1. Menactra: Esta vacuna protege contra 4 cepas bacterianas conjugadas meningocócicas. La primera dosis se debe a los 11 o 12 años y un refuerzo a los 16 años. 2. La vacuna meningocócica B (MenB) protege contra una cepa diferente de la bacteria. Esta vacuna es para adolescentes de 16 a 18 años. Muchas universidades los exigen antes de ingresar a la universidad. El meningococo es una enfermedad de acción rápida que pone en peligro la vida si no se detecta y trata a tiempo, en unas pocas horas. La enfermedad es causada por bacterias que pueden infectar el torrente sanguíneo, el cerebro y la médula espinal. Cualquiera puede contraer la enfermedad meningocócica, pero entre los jóvenes es más común en bebés y entre 16 y 20 años. Se propaga a través de la saliva y el contacto cercano como la tos y los espacios llenos de gente como los dormitorios universitarios. 3. TDAP: tétanos, difteria y tos ferina: esta es una dosis que necesitarán entre los 11 y los 12 años. Esta vacuna es un refuerzo, pero es ligeramente diferente a la vacuna que su hijo recibió cuando era bebé. Tiene una dosis menor de difteria y tos ferina, pero tiene la misma cantidad de tétanos. Su hijo necesitará un refuerzo cada 10 años. El tétanos es una bacteria que vive naturalmente en el suelo o el polvo. Puede estar expuesto a la bacteria a través de cualquier herida en la piel, como un corte o una herida punzante. El tétanos produce una toxina que causa contracciones musculares dolorosas. Puede hacer que los músculos del cuello y la mandíbula se bloqueen, lo que dificulta abrir o tragar. La difteria es una enfermedad que provoca una grave infección de garganta, problemas respiratorios e insuficiencia cardíaca. Antes de que tuviéramos la vacuna, mataba a 1 de cada 5 niños infectados. La vacuna es un salvavidas. La tos ferina (tos ferina) puede causar una tos que no desaparece y, a veces, puede causar vómitos o dificultad para respirar. La protección que su adolescente recibió de la vacuna de su infancia comienza a desaparecer alrededor de los 11 años, por eso es tan importante que su hijo reciba un refuerzo. Los adolescentes pueden transmitir fácilmente la enfermedad a otras personas, especialmente a los bebés que corren un mayor riesgo. 4. VPH (Virus del Papiloma Humano) Se recomiendan 2 dosis a partir de los 9-12 años. Si no reciben la primera dosis hasta los 15 años, necesitarán 3 dosis. El Virus del Papiloma Humano previene 6 tipos de cáncer. El VPH causa cáncer de cuello uterino, pene y ano, así como cáncer de boca, garganta y verrugas genitales. Se ha demostrado que la vacuna protege contra las cepas del virus que causan más del 90% de estos tipos de cáncer. Le enviaré un correo electrónico si su hijo necesita estas vacunas. Los departamentos de salud del condado pueden administrar estas vacunas. Deberá programar una cita en el condado de Washington todos los días, excepto los miércoles, ya que los miércoles tienen acceso a la clínica hasta las 6:30. El condado de Marshall está abierto todos los días y no hay necesidad de hacer citas. Están abiertos los miércoles hasta las 6:30 también. No dude en enviarme un correo electrónico si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud; nuevamente, le enviaré un correo electrónico si su hijo necesita alguna vacuna y qué tipo necesita durante las próximas semanas. jtegtmeier@usd223.org Jeri Tegtmeier, RN (Enfermera escolar)
Vaccine information for students
Starting at age 7-18 years kids and teens need a number of important vaccines to protect themselves. The state of Kansas has the following vaccinations required for continuation of school age children.
1. Menactra: This vaccine protects against 4 Meningococcal Conjugate bacterial strains. The first dose is due at age 11 or 12 and a booster at age 16.
2. Meningococcal B (MenB) vaccine protects against a different strain of the bacteria. This vaccines is for teens age 16-18 years old. Many colleges are requiring these prior to entry to college.
Meningococcal is a fast acting disease that is life threatening if it’s not caught and treated early – within a few hours. The disease is caused by bacteria that can infect the bloodstream, brain and spinal cord. Anyone can get meningococcal disease, but among young people it is more common in babies and ages 16-20 years old. It is spread through saliva and close contact like coughing and crowded spaces like college dorms.
3. TDAP – Tetanus, Diptheria and Pertussis: This is a dose that they will need between the ages of 11 and 12. This vaccine is a booster, but it is slightly different that the vaccine your child received as a baby. It has a lower dose of the Diphtheria and Pertussis, but it has the same amount of Tetanus. Your child will need a booster in every 10 years.
Tetanus is a bacteria that naturally lives in the soil or dust. You can be exposed to the bacteria through any break in your skin like a cut or puncture wound. Tetanus produces a toxin that causes painful muscle contractions. It can cause neck and jaw muscles to lock making it hard to open or swallow.
Diptheria is a disease that causes a serious throat infection, breathing problems and heart failure. Before we had the vaccine, It killed 1 out of every 5 kids who were infected. The vaccine is a lifesaver.
Pertussis (Whooping cough) can cause a cough that won’t go away, and can sometimes cause vomiting or trouble breathing. The protection your teen got from their childhood vaccine starts to wear off around the age 11, this is why is so important that your child gets a booster. Teens can easily spread the disease to others especially to infants who are more at risk.
4. HPV (Human Papillomavirus) 2 doses are needed recommended starting at age 9-12. If they don’t get the first dose until age 15 they will need 3 doses.
Human Papillomavirus prevents 6 types of cancer. HPV causes cervical, penile, anal cancers as well as cancers of the mouth throat and genital warts. The vaccine has been shown to protect against strains of the virus that causes more than 90% of these cancers.
I will be sending you an email if your child is in need of these vaccines. The County health departments may administer these vaccines. You will need to make an appointment at Washington County every day except Wednesday as the have walk in clinic until 6:30 on Wednesdays. Marshall County is open all days and there is no need for appointments. They are open on Wednesdays until 6:30 as well.
Please don’t hesitate to email me if you have any questions or concerns – again I will email you if your child needs any vaccinations and what kind they need over the next several weeks. jtegtmeier@usd223.org Jeri Tegtmeier, RN (School Nurse)
