SCHOOL IMMUNIZATION EXEMPTION FORM
Vermont’s School Immunization Regulations apply to any student in attendance at any public or
independent kindergarten, any elementary or secondary school and any post-secondary school,
unless exempt by law. Before school entry, students must have the required immunizations unless
exempted from immunizations for medical, religious, or moral (philosophic) reasons.
Note: Students exempted from required immunizations may face exclusion from school should a
vaccine-preventable disease outbreak occur and the Department of Health determines that such
action is necessary to protect the student and/or the public health.
