MICHIGAN 2009 IMMUNIZATION WAIVER FORM SS Imm Waiver 2009
Sections 9208 and 9211 of the Michigan Public Health Code require that a parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis applying to have a
child registered for the first time in a Michigan school or in a program of group residence, care, or camping in this state shall present to
officials at the time of registration or not later than the first day of school or program enrollment, a certificate of immunization verifying
that the child has been vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, hepatitis B, and varicella
(chickenpox). Vaccination for Pneumococcal conjugate is also required for preschool-aged children. The Haemophilus influenza type b
is not required for the 2009-20010 reporting season.
A parent or guardian wishing to exempt his or her child from a particular vaccination must provide a written statement indicating the
religious or philosophical objections to the vaccination(s). A child who has been exempted from a vaccination is considered susceptible
to the disease or diseases for which the vaccination offers protection. The child may be subject to exclusion from the school or program,
if the local and or state public health authority advises exclusion as a disease control measure.
By signing this waiver, you acknowledge that you are placing your child and others at risk of serious illness should he or
she contract a disease that could have been prevented through proper vaccination.
