The law requires that students be fully immunized against the specified diseases. A student may, however, be admitted provisionally if he or she has begun the required immunizations and if he or she continues to receive necessary immunizations as rapidly as is medically feasible. The school granting provisional enrollment must ensure that the required immunizations are received on schedule. If a student transfers from one school to another, a grace period of no more than 30 days may be allowed at the new school while awaiting the transfer of the immunization record, during which the student may be enrolled provisionally.
