Current MMUUSD Medication Guidelines

Immunization Exemptions: Act 157 relates to immunization exemptions. This legislation requires that all religious exemptions must be signed and submitted at the start of each school year.

The parent or guardian signing the exemption must also acknowledge the following:

• They have read and understood evidence‐based information regarding immunizations as provided by the Vermont Department of Health.
• They understand that failure to complete the required vaccination schedule increases risk to the child and others of contracting or carrying a vaccine‐preventable infectious disease.
• They understand that there are people with special health needs attending schools and child care facilities who are unable to be vaccinated or who are at heightened risk of contracting a vaccine‐preventable communicable disease and for whom such a disease could be life‐threatening.

The evidence‐based information that you are required to read is located on the Department of Health website: http://healthvermont.gov/hc/imm/schoolentry.aspx.
