Section 51.13. Immunization

(a) No child in grades K through 12 may be admitted to or permitted to attend a private school unless the child has received immunizations required by 28 Pa. Code Chapter 23 Subchapter C (relating to immunization) or has received from the director a medical or religious exemption from immunization under 28 Pa. Code § 23.84 (relating to exemption from immunization).

(b) A child who has not received all doses of the required immunizations or who has not been exempted from immunization, but who has received at least one dose of each of the required immunizations, may be provisionally admitted and attend private school for a period of up to 8 months. Provisional admission or continued attendance shall be conditional upon the parent’s or guardian’s submission to the director of a plan for the pupil’s completion of the required immunization doses. The plan shall be reviewed by the school at least every 60 calendar days. If after 8 months, the child has not received all doses of the required immunizations, the child thereafter may not be further admitted to or be permitted to attend the private school until all doses have been received.
