ExemptionsTexas law allows (a) physicians to write medical exemption statements that the vaccine(s) required would be medically harmful or injurious to the health and well-being of the child or household member, and (b) parents/guardians to choose an exemption from immunization requirements for reasons of conscience, including a religious belief. The law does not allow parents/guardians to elect an exemption simply because of inconvenience (for example, a record is lost or incomplete and it is too much trouble to go to a physician or clinic to correct the problem). Schools should maintain an up-to-date list of students with exemptions, so they may be excluded in times of emergency or epidemic declared by the commissioner of public health.Instructions for requesting the official exemption affidavit that must be signed by parents/guardians choosing the exemption for reasons of conscience, including a religious belief, can be found at www.ImmunizeTexas.com under “School & Child-Care.” The original Exemption Affidavit must be completed and submitted to the school.For children claiming medical exemptions, a 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.

Provisional EnrollmentAll immunizations should be completed by the first date of attendance. The law requires that students be fully vaccinated against the specified diseases. A student may be enrolled provisionally if the student has an immunization record that indicates the student has received at least one dose of each specified age-appropriate vaccine required by this rule. To remain enrolled, the student must complete the required subsequent doses in each vaccine series on schedule and as rapidly as is medically feasible and provide acceptable evidence of vaccination to the school. A school nurse or school administrator shall review the immunization status of a provisionally enrolled student every 30 days to ensure continued compliance in completing the required doses of vaccination. If, at the end of the 30-day period, a student has not received a subsequent dose of vaccine, the student is not in compliance and the school shall exclude the student from school attendance until the required dose is administered.Additional guidelines for provisional enrollment of students transferring from one Texas public or private school to another, students who are dependents of active duty military, students in foster care, and students who are homeless can be found in the TAC, Title 25 Health Services, Sections 97.66 and 97.69.

DocumentationSince many types of personal immunization records are in use, any document will be acceptable provided a physician or public health personnel has validated it. The month, day, and year that the vaccination was received must be recorded on all school immunization records created or updated after September 1, 1991.

NOTE: Shaded area indicates that the vaccine is not required for the respective age group.1 Receipt of the dose up to (and including) 4 days before the birthday will satisfy the school entry immunization requirement.2 Serologic evidence of infection or serologic confirmation of immunity to measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, hepatitis A, or varicella is acceptable in place of

vaccine. 3 Previous illness may be documented with a written statement from a physician, school nurse, or the child’s parent or guardian containing wording such as: “This is

to verify that (name of student) had varicella disease (chickenpox) on or about (date) and does not need varicella vaccine.” This written statement will be acceptable in place of any and all varicella vaccine doses required.

ExencionesLa ley de Texas autoriza a que (a) los médicos redacten declaraciones de exención médica para una vacuna o vacunas requeridas que podrían ser médicamente dañinas o perjudiciales para la salud y el bienestar del niño o miembro del hogar, y (b) los padres o tutores opten por una exención de los requisitos de inmunización por razones de conciencia, incluidas las creencias religiosas. La ley no permite que los padres o tutores opten por una exención simplemente para evitarse inconvenientes (por ejemplo, cuando un registro se haya perdido o esté incompleto y sea mucha molestia ir con un médico o a una clínica para corregir el problema). Las escuelas deben mantener una lista actualizada de los estudiantes con exenciones, de forma que se les pueda excluir en casos de emergencias o epidemias declaradas por el comisionado de salud pública.Encontrará las instrucciones para solicitar la declaración jurada de exención oficial, la cual debe ser firmada por los padres o tutores que elijan la exención por razones de conciencia, incluidas las creencias religiosas, en www.ImmunizeTexas.com, en el enlace para “Escuelas y guarderías”. El original de la declaración jurada de exención debe llenarse y entregarse en la escuela.En el caso de los niños para quienes se reclamen exenciones médicas, es necesario presentar a la escuela una declaración escrita del médico. A menos que en la declaración conste por escrito que existe una afección de por vida, la declaración de exención es válida solo por un año a partir de la fecha en que el médico la firmó.

Inscripción provisionalTodas las inmunizaciones deben haberse completado antes del primer día de asistencia. La ley exige que los estudiantes estén completamente vacunados contra las enfermedades específicas. Un estudiante puede inscribirse de manera provisional si cuenta con un registro de inmunización que indique que el estudiante ha recibido al menos una dosis de cada vacuna específica apropiada para su edad según lo exige esta regla. Para seguir inscrito, el estudiante debe completar las dosis posteriores requeridas de cada serie de vacunas a tiempo según el calendario y tan rápidamente como sea médicamente posible, y debe proporcionar a la escuela un comprobante aceptable de que ha sido vacunado. Un enfermero escolar o administrador escolar revisará cada 30 días el estado de inmunización de los estudiantes inscritos de manera provisional para garantizar el cumplimiento ininterrumpido de la aplicación de las dosis de vacunas requeridas. Si, al final del periodo de 30 días, un estudiante no ha recibido una dosis posterior de la vacuna, el estudiante no está cumpliendo con las normas, y la escuela excluirá al estudiante de su asistencia a la escuela hasta que se le administre la dosis requerida.Las normas adicionales para la inscripción provisional de estudiantes transferidos de una escuela pública o privada de Texas a otra, estudiantes que dependen de militares en servicio activo, estudiantes que viven en hogar de acogida y estudiantes en situación sin hogar, se encuentran en el TAC, título 25, Servicios de salud, secciones 97.66 y 97.69.

DocumentaciónDado que se usan muchos tipos de registros de inmunización personales, cualquier documento es aceptable si un médico o el personal de salud pública lo ha validado. Debe registrarse el mes, día y año en que se recibió la vacuna en todos los registros de inmunización escolares creados o actualizados después del 1 de septiembre de 1991.
