Exemptions (medical, religious/personal)

A child may be released from the obligation of having any or all of the required doses of vaccines under exceptional circumstances. These waivers from participation are called exemptions. They may be granted for medical, personal or religious reasons. Children who have been exempted are susceptible to the disease(s) for which they did not receive vaccine(s). Therefore, in the event of a disease outbreak, they will be excluded from school attendance for the duration of the outbreak. All exemptions must be signed by a physician or other licensed healthcare provider unless it is a religious exemption.
