Immunization Guidance
As a result of hurricanes, school-age children are sometimes displaced
from their schools to other schools away from home. When these
situations occur, to facilitate enrollment of evacuees, states may opt
to waive their school entry immunization requirements for these
children. CDC has indicated its support for these actions and the
Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) encourages
states to consider waiving school entry requirements as the situation
warrants, consistent with state laws.
