 Health & Safety Services :: Immunization Requirements
For information on immunization requirements, please refer to
Any student coming
into school to register must be cleared through the School Nurse for
compliance with state immunization requirements for school children.
Some 30 day provisional enrollment will be granted but ONLY if
certain requirements are met. School Nurses can assist students who do
not have required immunizations in obtaining them through 2 school
sites.
Students who have
already registered and are delinquent on required vaccines must obtain
needed vaccines and be cleared by the School Nurse prior to
starting classes. Texas State Law and Board Policy state that all
required immunizations be physician or Health Department verified.
Month, date and year for each shot must be indicated. The following
chart summarizes the vaccine requirements in Title 25 Health Services,
Section 97.61-97.72 of the Texas Administrative Code.
For children
needing medical exemptions from immunization requirements, a written
statement by the physician must be submitted at the time of
registration. For children receiving exemption for reasons of
conscience, the district requires an official Texas Department of Health
affidavit form notarized and submitted within 90 days from the date it
is notarized at the time of registration. No other forms or
reproductions will be allowed.
