4015 Immunization for School Entrants 4015
All students must be immunized prior to school entrance in accordance with the requirements of the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services. Evidence from a health care provider of completion of these requirements must be submitted to the school Principal/designee prior to the student entering school. No child may be enrolled in school without first presenting an immunization record, partial or complete, or a medical or religious exemption.
Students may be exempt from the above regulation if they present evidence from their physician to the Principal/designee that the immunization will be detrimental to their health. The physician must state the duration of the exemption.
Students may be excused from immunization for religious reasons, upon receipt by the Principal/designee, on a notarized form, signed by the parent, or legal guardian, which states the student has not been immunized because of religious beliefs.
Student Immunization schedules shall be in accordance with the requirements of the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services.
In the event of an outbreak, students who have been exempted from immunization requirements will be excluded from school for a period of time, to be established after consultation with the NH Department of Health & Human Services, if such students are considered to be at risk for the disease that they have not been immunized against.
