Proof of immunization means a written record showing the dates (month, day, year) your child was immunized.

The only exceptions to the school laws for immunization are medical reasons and religious beliefs.  If your child is exempt from immunizations, your child may be removed from school during a disease outbreak.

Keep a record of your child’s immunizations.  Keep this record in a safe place.  Your doctor’s office, medical clinic, or hospital may ask for this record.  As your children become adults, they may need the record for college, for their job or if they travel out of the country.
