Tool Search: Vaccine Exemptions
The Vaccine Exemption tool allows for the entry of acceptable reasons for waiving a student's immunization requirement. The most common forms of vaccine exemptions include medical and religious waivers, though other exemptions may be created.
Vaccine Exemptions Setup
State Reporting Notes
A district may define its own exemptions, but it may impact state reporting.
Some states have a State Exemption code field that must be mapped to each Exemption created to report properly.
Exemptions displays in health reports and on a student’s Immunizations tool. Exemptions may be added to any existing vaccine. When the vaccine is not required, it does not need an exemption assigned to it.
Add New Exemptions
- Select the New button from the action bar. The Vaccine Exemption Detail editor displays.
- Enter a Code for the exemption.
- Enter a Name for the exemption.
- Enter a Seq(uence) to specify the order in which this exemption displays in the list of exemptions. This is the order on the Vaccine Exemption editor and in the Waiver dropdown field of the student’s Immunization tool.
- Optional: Enter a Start and End Date for the exemption.
- Optional: Mark the Require Expires Date checkbox to make the exemption expiration date required on the student's Immunizations tool.
- Flag the checkboxes of the vaccines for which the exemption may apply.
- Click the Save button when finished.
When an end date has been entered for a vaccine exemption, that option displays in red text when the exemption end date is past when Entering a Vaccine Waiver for a student. When a student already has a waiver assigned to them and an exemption end date is added and past, the name of the waiver and the date of the waiver display in red on the student's Immunizations tool.
