MEDICAL IMMUNIZATION EXEMPTIONS
Some students cannot be immunized for medical reasons. Claiming a medical exemption represents a physician’s determination that your student is allergic to some immunization components, has an immune deficiency or has an illness such as cancer.

RELIGIOUS IMMUNIZATION EXEMPTIONS
Actively choosing not to immunize your student by claiming a religious exemption is a parent’s right; however, it carries significant responsibility. To protect inadequately vaccinated individuals and the entire community, unimmunized students could be excluded from school during disease outbreaks.
