Relating to required immunizations for children and primary or secondary school students.
SB 117 requires all Texas public and private primary and secondary school students to be fully immunized against six specific diseases: diphtheria, mumps, poliomyelitis, rubella, rubeola, and tetanus. It mandates that school districts post a bilingual (English/Spanish) list of these required immunizations on their websites, along with a link to information about exemption procedures. The bill also directs the Department of State Health Services to develop and maintain the list of required vaccines and ensure it is accessible online. This directly affects students, school districts, and parents seeking exemption information.
