SCHOOL-HEALTH Emergency Rules from DSHS on Vaccinations
The Department of State Health Services will be
issuing an emergency rule effective today August 24, 2009, that will permit
schools to provisionally enroll students that may not have had certain required
immunizations. Under the emergency rule, students who are required to have, but
have not yet received one or more of these three vaccinations may be
provisionally enrolled in school through September 30, 2009. A student is not
required to be vaccinated according to the schedule for the three vaccines until
October 1, 2009. The schedule for one or more of the vaccines may be
delayed beyond October 1, 2009, for good cause determined by the commissioner of
the department.
This emergency rule will delay the following requirements relating to
meningococcal, tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis, and varicella vaccines:
1) meningococcal vaccine;
2) tetanus/diptheria/pertussis (Tdap) vaccines for
Texas students entering 7th grade and boosters for students entering grades
8-12; and
3) varicella vaccine for students entering
kindergarten and those entering 7th grade.
The full text of the rule will be linked to the department’s website at http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/
