Exemptions to Immunization Requirements
The State of Texas does allow for exemptions to the immunization requirements based on medical need or reason of conscience; however, both types of exemptions required proper documentation. Visit the Texas Department of State Health Services school immunization page for more information about immunization exemptions. Regarding exemptions related to religious and/or reasons on conscience: please note that in accordance with state law, RISD can only accept exemption affidavits issued by the State of Texas. Affidavits issued from other states are not permissible for enrollment/attendance. The parent/guardian must provide an original, notarized Texas affidavit before school enrollment/attendance is permitted. Please contact your school nurse for additional information.
