Greetings. I just noticed this post comment, "Texas law prohibits a child from stepping foot on campus if her vaccinations are not current." I just want to set the record straight with the following found in the Texas Administrative Code:
Exclusions from compliance are allowable on an individual basis for medical contraindications, reasons of conscience, including a religious belief, and active duty with the armed forces of the United States. Children and students in these categories must submit evidence for exclusion from compliance as specified in the Health and Safety Code, §161.004(d), Health and Safety Code, §161.0041, Education Code, Chapter 38, Education Code, Chapter 51, and the Human Resources Code, Chapter 42.
Hope that helps set the record straight for those who may fear not being able to send their unvaccinated kids to public school in Texas. There is a choice in Texas. :-)
