VACCINATION AND OTHER MEDICAL INFORMATION
*** REQUIRED ANNUALLY ***
The routine vaccination of all students is an important public health matter. Both the Reform and Conservative movements believe that childhood vaccination is a mitzvah, based on the Torah's exhortation to "take utmost care and watch yourselves scrupulously" (Deuteronomy 4:9).
The requirement of all students at the United Jewish School is to be adequately immunized against all of the preventable childhood diseases as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices; therefore, it is United Jewish School policy that age-appropriate compliance of vaccination is enforced, and to exclude individuals who are out of compliance. We require appropriate documentation of immunization status prior to the start of school.
Parents must provide vaccination records or documentation of medical exemptions from the state or their pediatrician prior to the start of school. Your doctor or your local Health Department can print an Official State of Michigan Immunization Record for you. You can also request forms here.
