VACCINE UPDATE
FROM NURSE JOAN
Before Admission to School, the Parent/Guardian Must:
- Provide a medically verified immunization record, from a physician, health department, or other health care provider, showing dates (month, day, year) of required immunizations.
OR
- Obtain required immunizations.
If there are medical or religious reasons a child cannot be vaccinated, call the school nurse @ (907) 742-3550 for further information.
Those who are in the Child in Transition program or are active-duty military dependents (who have just relocated to Anchorage) may be eligible for a 30-day waiver (Military and Homeless waivers required by federal law).
ASD follows the state’s strict requirement of “No Shots, No School” and requires proof of immunization at enrollment. By law, a student is not allowed to attend classes unless they are compliant with immunization requirements.
For further information please see the State of Alaska Child Care & School Immunization Requirements Packet for the required vaccinations, the ASD Healthcare Services Department webpage @ https://www.asdk12.org/Page/6617 and/or call your school nurse @ 742-3550.
