Serologic confirmation or evidence of illness or immunity to measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, hepatitis A or varicella
is acceptable in lieu of vaccine. Documentation of previous illness to varicella may substitute for vaccination.
Medical Exemption: The law allows physicians to write a statement stating that the vaccine(s) required would be
medically harmful or injurious to the health and well being of the child. The written statement by the physician must be
submitted to the school. Unless it is written in the statement that a lifelong condition exists, the exemption statement is
valid for only one year from the date signed by the physician.
Conscientious/Religious Exemption: The law allows parents/guardians to choose an exemption from immunization
requirements for reasons of conscience, including a religious belief. Instructions for the affidavit to be signed by
parents/guardians can be found at ImmunizeTexas. The completed and returned form from the TDH must be submitted to
the school. The affidavit will be valid for two years.
Please note: In the case of an outbreak, an un-immunized child may be prohibited from school attendance. If your health
care provider is out of the required vaccine, but it is still available through the health department, the vaccine is still
required for school entry.
