| Parents: Are your adolescents protected from serious diseases? |

Some baby immunizations do not last a lifetime and your child needs additional shots to stay protected and healthy. Doctors recommend Tdap, MCV and HPV vaccines to protect your adolescent and teenage children. Some baby immunizations do not last a lifetime and your child needs additional shots to stay protected and healthy.
Doctors recommend Tdap, MCV and HPV vaccines to protect your adolescent and teenage children.
The MCV vaccine prevents meningococcal disease, which is a serious infection that can lead to brain damage and death.
The Tdap vaccine prevents tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (or “whooping cough”). Pertussis causes a cough that lasts for months and may make it hard to eat, drink or breathe.
The HPV vaccine prevents human papilloma virus, the main cause of cervical cancer.
It is important for your child to have a health check-up each year. For help finding a doctor or health care provider, call the Family Health Hotline at 1-800-322-2588.
Highline Public Schools is sharing this important information in cooperation with Public Health, Seattle & King County.

If you are a parent or guardian of a Highline student, we want to hear from you. Please complete our parent survey. Your feedback will help us see what we are doing well and where we need to improve.
The results of our annual survey are tracked by school and for the district as a whole. We will compare this year’s responses to those from past years, and we will report our progress to you in this publication and on our website later this spring.
“We want and need feedback from the families we serve,” said Superintendent Susan Enfield. “Parents are the experts on their children. Students will be successful in school when we are true partners with their families. That starts when we really listen to what they have to say.”
You can access the survey here. The survey will be open until May 17.
