• Utah Immunization Rule for Students R396-100

    All children who attend school are required by the Utah Immunization Rule for Students, to provide proof of immunization, an exemption, or proof of immunity against a disease for which vaccination is required.  Proof of immunity to disease(s) can be accepted in place of vaccination only if a document from a healthcare provider stating the student previously contracted the disease is presented to the school.  Conditional enrollment and exclusion criteria apply as outlined in the Utah Immunization Guidebook.  Students must be on track for completing missing immunizations. 

    For questions about school immunizations,  please contact the School Nurse.

    Immunization Exemption:

    A student may be exempt from immunization for medical, religious, or personal reasons. 

    For personal and religious reasons, an online Immunization Education Module (opt-out form) needs to be completed by the legal guardian.  The exemption certificate MUST be turned in to the school.

    Please refer to the Utah State Immunization Exemption Information page for details on when exemptions need to be renewed.

    For medical reasons, a written notice signed by a licensed health care provider is needed stating that, due to the physical condition of the student, administration of the vaccine would endanger the student’s life or health.
