§
23.84. Exemption from immunization.
(a) Medical exemption. Children need not be immunized if a physician
or the physician’s designee provides a written statement that immunization
may be detrimental to the health of the child. When the physician determines
that immunization is no longer detrimental to the health of the child, the
child shall be immunized according to this subchapter.
(b) Religious exemption. Children need not be immunized if the parent,
guardian or emancipated child objects in writing to the immunization on religious
grounds or on the basis of a strong moral or ethical conviction similar to
a religious belief.
