Senate Bill 895 is a new law about school immunizations. One of the key changes made by Senate Bill 895 was that schools and children’s facilities (preschools, Head Starts and certified child care programs) will be required to have their immunization and exemption rates available at their main offices, on their websites, and for parents on paper or electronic format. This is your notification via electronic format. We will have this information posted on our bulletin board and on our website.
The temporary administrative rules state, “rates may include immunization data collected in the previous school year.” Please see attached
