The State of Alabama School Law, §16-30-4, requires all students entering public and/or private schools to present an up-to-date Alabama Certificate of Immunization, an Alabama Certificate of Religious Exemption, or an Alabama Certificate of Medical Exemption before entering school at any grade level. Please be advised that this must be provided before the student is allowed to attend the first day of school. Also, please ensure that if you have a student entering 6th grade in the fall, they have received the Tdap vaccine from their healthcare provider, and proof is provided to the school they will be attending in the fall by Friday, July 18th, 2025. Please contact your child's school if you have any questions or concerns.
If your student has a medical or religious exemption, please contact your child’s physician or the Alabama Department of Public Health to obtain a religious or medical exemption certificate. ADPH states that a certificate of religious exemption can only be issued by a county health department. These exemptions must be entered into IMMPRINT. IMMPRINT is the State of Alabama’s immunization compliance system.
