Student Vaccination at Independent Schools

(from Schwartz Hannum PC) As the FDA approves broader and non-emergency uses for the various COVID-19 vaccines, some states will likely amend their laws requiring vaccines for school-age children to include vaccination for COVID-19. Once that happens, schools in such states will be required to monitor and enforce vaccine requirements, subject to potentially applicable medical, religious, and/or philosophical exemptions, in the same manner in which they monitor and enforce existing vaccine requirements. Given the speed with which the COVID-19 vaccines have been developed and implemented, schools may also experience increases in requests for medical and/or other exemptions from vaccine requirements.
