Draft recommendations for vaccine education modules to be used in schools are under consideration. If adopted, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Education would work to introduce these modules into middle and high school health and science classes. Federal law allows parents to find out what is taught in their children's classrooms. This article also covers how to find out more about school vaccine requirements and exemptions. Please, take a moment to read this referenced article HERE, written by NVIC Executive Director, Theresa Wrangham. Feel free to leave your thoughts and comments and tell us how you really feel!

A student’s educational record contains personally identifying information and sensitive health information, like vaccination status. Federal law protects student privacy and in many instances requires parental consent before information can be shared. As parents, it is essential to understand these rights and what information can and cannot be shared outside the school setting. Get all the details HERE from NVIC Executive Director, Theresa Wrangham. Join the conversation and share your thoughts.
