Immunization Records
The immunization request below authorizes Rockwall ISD Health Services to provide a copy of immunization records. Any immunization records on file will be sent in the manner selected (email or fax). Former students who are 18 years or older must request their own immunization records. If you are requesting records during the school year for a current student, please contact their home campus. Current students can view their school immunization record on Skyward Family Access.
Immunization Exemptions
The State of Texas does allow for exemptions to the immunization requirements based on medical need or reasons of conscience; however both types of exemptions require proper documentation. Visit the Texas Department of State Health Services Immunization Exemption page for more information about immunization exemptions.
Reasons of Conscience Exemption
The affidavit form from the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) must be notarized and submitted to the school. Original, notarized forms are valid for two years from the date of notarization. Affidavits must be renewed before they are expired and the school must have the new, original affidavit form on file. To obtain an affidavit form:
- Download and print the Blank Affidavit Exemption from School or Child-Care Immunization for Reasons of Conscience form by clicking here, or
- Request an affidavit form by mail from DSHS by clicking here. You may request up to 5 forms per child.
Medical Exemption
To claim an exclusion for medical reasons, the child or student must present a
statement signed by the child's physician (M.D. or D.O.), duly registered and licensed to
practice medicine in the United States who has examined the child, in which it is stated
that, in the physician's opinion, the vaccine required is medically contraindicated or poses
a significant risk to the health and well-being of the child or any member of the child's
household. Unless it is written in the statement that a lifelong condition exists, the
exemption statement is valid for only one year from the date signed by the physician.
