Relating to medical exemption to mandatory vaccination requirements

The purpose of this bill is to amend the process for a medical exemption to compulsory vaccination. It eliminates the commissioners' right to grant, renew, deny, suspend, or revoke medical exemptions to compulsory vaccination requirement and the Immunization Officer. The bill specifies that medical exemptions to compulsory vaccination are granted based on a treating physician's or advanced practice provider's determination that vaccination is or may be detrimental to the child's health. The physician or advanced practice provider is to provide a written statement to this effect to the child's school or state-regulated child care center.
