REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO UPDATE VACCINATION FORMS AND RECORDKEEPING FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL AND CHARTER SCHOOL STUDENTS.

SCR 72 is a procedural resolution requesting Hawaii's Department of Education and Department of Health to update vaccination forms and recordkeeping for public and charter school students. It addresses a current issue where students who refuse a single required vaccine (like HPV) are marked as "unvaccinated" for all diseases on enrollment forms, creating inaccurate records. The resolution aims to improve the accuracy of vaccination status tracking to help schools better respond to disease outbreaks. This request directly affects school enrollment staff and students, as it would change how vaccination exemptions are documented. The resolution does not change vaccination requirements but seeks to refine recordkeeping procedures.
