§302A-1155  Provisional entrance to school. 
(a)  A child may enter school provisionally upon submitting written
documentation from a licensed physician, physician assistant, advanced practice
registered nurse, or an authorized representative of the department of health
stating that the child is in the process of receiving the required
immunizations.  Further documentation showing that the required immunizations
have been completed shall be submitted to the appropriate school official no
later than three months after the child first entered the school.  If all of
the required immunizations cannot be completed within three months due to the
length of the minimum intervals between doses of a particular vaccine required
by the department of health, provisional admission may be extended so long as
the child's parent or guardian provides documentation that appointments for
required immunizations have been made and that progress toward completing the
immunizations continues in accordance with the requirements of the department
of health.



(b)  Provisional entrance to school may be
suspended by the department of health when there is danger of an epidemic from
any of the communicable diseases for which immunization is required. [L 1996, c
