Students enrolling in BSD must have medically verified immunization records.

Medically verified records must have:

• Your child’s name
• Your child’s date of birth

AND

• A unique health care provider or clinic stamp or another form of written healthcare provider documentation, such as a provider signature

Please provide a medically verified Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS) form

OR one of the following:

• Official immigration immunization records
• The immunization record printed from a healthcare provider, clinic, or hospital’s Electronic Health Record
• A written immunization record from a healthcare provider or clinic
• The immunization record printed from the Washington State Immunization Information System or the Immunization Information System of another state

 

Bellevue School District nurses track immunization status through the Washington State Immunization Information System. Please sign the Certificate of Immunization Status form to give us permission to update the state system, and turn it in to your child’s school with their medically verified immunization records.

For information on how to access your child’s Washington State vaccination records, please visit our Health Resources webpage.

Washington State Law allows parents or guardians to exempt their child from the school or childcare immunization requirements. Exemptions may be claimed for personal/philosophical, religious or medical reasons. Measles, mumps, and rubella may not be exempted for personal/philosophical reasons. To request an exemption a completed Certificate of Exemption must be submitted to the school or child care center. More information about exemptions is available in the Frequently Asked Questions document below.

By law, RCW 28A.210.120, it is the duty of the administrator of every public and private school and day care center to prohibit the further presence at the school or day care center for any and all purposes of each child for whom proof of immunization, certification of exemption, or proof of compliance with an approved schedule of immunization has not been provided in accordance with RCW 28A.210.080 and to continue to prohibit the child's presence until such proof of immunization, certification of exemption, or approved schedule has been provided. Students lacking immunization records who are covered under the federal McKinney-Vento Act may not be excluded. The exclusion of a child from a school shall be accomplished in accordance with rules of the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, in consultation with the State Board of Health WAC 392-380-050 (Public schools) WAC 180-38-050 (Private schools).

To control the spread of disease a local health officer may exclude children and staff in schools and child care facilities. WAC 246-110-020 It is encouraged for all for school and child care facilities to keep or have ready access to immunization records of staff as well as children should they be required in the event of an outbreak.

The Bellevue School District has changed how we manage student immunization records. We are now using the School Module, an online system provided by the Washington State Department of Health.

The School Module allows us to quickly and efficiently check if your child has the vaccines required for school. This will save us time on finding and entering vaccination dates and free up time to work with students.

Most children born and/or vaccinated in Washington already have their information in the system. You can access your child’s record at any time by signing up for MyIR Mobile.

As we move to this system, the school nurse may ask you for more information about your child’s vaccination history. If your child is missing vaccines in the system, we may ask for a copy of their immunization record.  If the Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS) form is not signed, we may ask for the CIS to be signed by a parent or guardian and returned to your child’s school.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school nurse.
