TITLE 3: HUMAN RESOURCES DIVISION 1: EDUCATION
§ 1151. Immunizations. (a) Every parent of a child shall, at the time of first enrollment of the child in any Commonwealth special education, preschool, elementary, middle, or secondary school, public or non-public, irrespective of grade level, provide the school authorities with proof that the child has received all of the immunizations required by the Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation’s Division of Public Health Services. If the child has not received all of the required immunizations, the parents shall be notified immediately by school authorities that they are required to initiate all required immunizations for their child within two weeks after the date of such notice. Every parent of a child already enrolled in a Commonwealth school, public or non-public, whose child's health records show incomplete immunizations, shall be required to initiate remedial action within two weeks following notification of the immunization of the deficiency. Except as provided in § 1153, failure to comply shall be grounds for suspension of the child from school until immunization standards have been met. (b) The Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation’s Division of Public Health Services may, after consultation with the Private and Public School Systems, establish an immunization program to be carried out within the Commonwealth schools.
