Immunization Requirements
View the Fall 2023 Immunization Requirements for Ohio Schools
The state of Ohio dictates the immunization requirements for entrance into Olentangy Local Schools, according to grade level (Ohio Revised Code, Section 3313.671). See also Board Policy 5320
If a parent has a philosophical/religious objection, or the student’s physician has a medical objection, the Immunization Exemption Form must be completed.
Students must be in compliance with the law in order to be eligible for school attendance. Immunization records must be presented to the school within fourteen days of enrollment and it is the responsibility of the parent to provide the record. When transferring from another district, it is recommended that parents request a copy of the immunization record prior to leaving.
For more information see the Ohio Department of Health website.
