In order to attend class in Minneapolis Public Schools, students must show that they have had the required immunizations or that they are exempt. On Sept. 1, 2014, changes to Minnesota's Immunization Law took effect. The changes were made to more closely align with the current Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations.

Immunization Form (Hmong, Somali, Spanish) - This form can be used to document vaccinations and/or to claim an exemption from the requirements for medical reasons or the conscientiously held beliefs of the parent/guardian. Medical exemptions must be signed by a health care provider. Conscientious exemptions must be signed by the parent/guardian and notarized. Schools will accept other versions of immunization records, too as long as all required immunizations are listed.
