Illinois students now required to get whooping cough vaccine

Illinois students now required to get whooping cough vaccine

ILLINOIS (KFVS) - A rise in whooping cough caused new vaccine requirements for Illinois sixth and ninth graders.

Illinois sixth and ninth grade students will now be required to have the Tdap vaccine before entering school for the 2012-2013 year.

The Tdap vaccine immunizes against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough. Students will be required to show proof of receiving the vaccine, have an appointment scheduled to get it, or an approved medical or religious exemption on file. Students who do not meet this requirement will not be allowed to attend school.

Whooping cough has been on the rise this year in Illinois and across the country. Medical experts have found that the disease is particularly on the rise among pre-teen and teens. Combatting this is the reason for the new requirements.

Fresh fruit, vegetable program expands for Ill. schools

Fresh fruit, vegetable program expands for Ill. schools

(KFVS) - The Illinois State Board of Education announced Monday that 267 schools in Illinois will participate in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program during the 2012-13  school year.

The schools, both public and private that already participate in the National School Lunch Program, will get a total of $4.9 million to share, up from last year’s grant amount of $4.7 million that served 215 schools.

“This is a valuable federal program that improves access to great fruits and vegetables,” said Illinois State Board of Education Chairman Gery J. Chico. “This program helps children from low-income families feed their minds and bodies with good nutrition and promotes healthy habits for life.”

The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program requires participating schools to use between $50 to $75 per enrolled student, with the majority of that money being spent on fresh produce. Program funding runs through June 30, 2013.
