DAR File No.: 42947
Filed: 06/07/2018 10:43:37 AMNOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION
Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:
This rule is authorized by Sections 53A-11-303 (recodified to 53G-9-305) and 53A-11-306 (recodified to 53G-9-308) directing the Department of Health to adopt rules and enforce immunization standards for entry into a public, private, or parochial school through grade 12, licensed day care center, child care facility, family care home, or Head Start program unless exempted for personal, medical, or religious objections.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
No written comments were received.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
One of the important reasons for requiring school vaccinations is to ensure that children and adults in school and day care group environments are protected from vaccine preventable diseases. All states have school immunization requirements and they are a highly effective public health measure in ensuring against vaccine preventable diseases. This rule also allows the option for those with a philosophical, religious, or medical reason to obtain an exemption from the requirement. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
