to meet this requirement.
Exemptions from immunizations are permitted if they are contrary to a student’s or family's religious
beliefs, and require parent/guardian signature on MDH Form 896. Students also may be exempted
from immunization requirements if an authorized health care provider certifies that there is a medical
reason not to receive a vaccine. Exemptions from blood lead testing is permitted if it is contrary to
a family’s religious beliefs and practices. The Blood Lead Testing Certificate must be signed by an
authorized health care provider stating a questionnaire was done.
