Students and children with appropriate medical conditions may receive temporary or permanent medical exemptions if authorized by their physicians. Medical immunization exemption forms must be submitted to the school, child care facility, or university on a form provided by the Division of Public and Behavioral Health.

Students and/or parents who want to exempt their child/student from one or more required immunizations because of their religious beliefs must provide to the school, child care facility, or university a religious immunization exemption form provided by the Division of Public and Behavioral Health.

To protect themselves and others from spreading disease, children with any of these exemptions can be excluded from school during an outbreak of a disease against which they are not fully immunized. In addition to the vaccines for which an exemption is being requested, parents must submit official immunization records to the school or daycare for the vaccines that the child did receive. This will help schools know which students have and haven’t been immunized when a vaccine-preventable disease may be spreading at school.
