School Vaccination Fraud Awareness
The °ÄÃÅÌØÂëÍõ Department of Health protects and promotes health and well-being for all, including keeping children safe from vaccine-preventable diseases. Religious and independent schools are on the frontlines in the defense against vaccine-preventable diseases and have the responsibility to reject records they believe to be fraudulent based on their knowledge and assessment of the facts.

The °ÄÃÅÌØÂëÍõ Department of Health wants to help religious and independent schools recognize red flags on immunization records to stop fraud and have a brand new website specifically for communicating about pediatric vaccination fraud with schools and parents. The site serves as a useful resource for questions about acceptable records/medical exemptions from various providers.
