§ 21-40-5-4 — Exemption from immunization

An exemption relieving a student from the
requirements of section 3 of this chapter may be accepted by the state
educational institution as part of the documentation of exemption for
the following reasons:
(1) If a health care provider makes a written statement indicating
the nature and probable duration of a medical condition or
circumstances that contraindicate an immunization, identifying
the specific vaccine that could be detrimental to the student's
health.
(2) If pregnancy or suspected pregnancy is certified in a written
statement from a health care provider.
(3) If a health care provider provides written documentation that
the student is in the course of completing an approved schedule
of all necessary doses of the vaccines required for the diseases
listed in section 2 of this chapter.
If the student's medical condition or circumstances subsequently permit
immunization, the exemptions granted by this section terminate and the
student shall obtain the immunizations from which the student has been
exempted.
