Immunization Requirements and Information

Minnesota law requires every student enrolled in school to be immunized against diphtheria, pertusis, tetanus, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, and varicella.

Exemptions to this law may be made by:

  • A statement from a physician indicating that the immunization is contraindicated for medical reasons
  • A laboratory confirmation of the presence of adequate immunity, or
  • A notarized statement signed by the minor child's parent/guardian or by the emancipated person because of a conscientiously held belief.
