Harker Provides Whooping Cough Vaccinations to Middle School Students

The Harker School, in collaboration with the Sutter Visiting Nurses organization, worked to provide middle and upper school students with their Pertussis (whooping cough) booster shots on both campuses April 19.

It will be required that middle school students and older all have these shots prior to starting school next fall, and in an effort to help Harker students (and parents) avoid the lines in September, Harker invited a team of nurses to deliver the shots to students.

Debra Nott, Harker’s head nurse, helped coordinate the effort that not only provided protection against whooping cough, but also against Diptheria and Tetanus (TDAP).
