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

This Senate Resolution (SR 55) requests 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 claiming an exemption for *one* required vaccine (like HPV) are marked as "unvaccinated" for *all* vaccines, creating inaccurate records. The update aims to improve tracking of students' actual vaccination status - showing which vaccines they've received and which they've exempted - to help schools better assess herd immunity during disease outbreaks. The resolution does not change vaccination requirements but seeks more precise data for public health responses.
