Immunization Requirements and Information

Minnesota law requires every student enrolled in school to be immunized against diphtheria, pertusis, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, and varicella.

 

Exemptions to this law may be made by:

    • A statement from a physician indicating that the immunization is contraindicated for medical reasons
    • A laboratory confirmation of the presence of adequate immunity, or
    • A notarized statement signed by the minor child's parent/guardian or by the emancipated person because of a conscientiously held belief.
 
Pupil Immunization Record - 11-11: This form is required of every student in school. It provides dates of all immunizations received. It also provides exemption information. Print this form out to take to your next doctor's visit and bring to your school nurse when completed.
If your child has an immunization record on file at school this is not required.
