All states require children to be vaccinated against certain communicable diseases as a condition for school attendance. In most instances, state school vaccination laws expressly apply to both public schools and private schools with identical immunization and exemption provisions. The Public Health Law Program has conducted an assessment of state statutes, regulations, and state health department policies (collectively referred to as “laws”) regarding school vaccinations. This assessment is a 2019 update of state vaccination laws originally collected in 2015 and updated previously in 2017.
