An Act relative to routine childhood immunizations
This bill requires all public, private, and charter schools in Massachusetts to annually report the number of students who are either successfully immunized or exempt from vaccination requirements. The legislation mandates that the state education department establish the specific method for schools to submit these numbers and then publish the aggregated data online for public viewing. The law includes privacy protections that prevent the release of any information that could identify individual students or violate existing confidentiality rules.
