Immunization Requirements

28 Pa. Code §§ 23.81 through 23.87 require that parents conducting a home education program submit a Certificate of Immunization or a record of immunization to school officials as proof of immunization.  For updates on policies regarding immunization, visit the Department of Health’s website.

For all students enrolling in a home education program for the first time, the record of the student’s immunization must be submitted to and reviewed by the school nurse of the local school district, or a ‘Statement of Exemption’ can be completed by a physician (medical exemption) or by a parent/legal guardian (religious/strong moral or ethical conviction exemptions).
