Student Immunizations

The State of Michigan requires that all students be properly immunized pursuant to the provisions of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA). The state of Michigan also requires that all students be properly immunized at the time of registration or not later than the first day of school pursuant to those provisions. Before a child can be permitted to enter or attend school, parents/guardians must present documentation that a child has had the required doses of vaccine. Immunization requirements are to be in accordance with the Bay City Academy District Board of Education Policy 5320 BP. The only exceptions are for parent/guardian objection for religious, philosophical, or other reasons, or for a medical contraindication. The parent/guardian submits a signed waiver of immunization, issued by the County Health Department, for non-medical reasons. A Medical Contraindication Form must be completed by a licensed health care provider certifying that a medical contraindication exists and that a specific immunization is or may be detrimental to the student’s health.
