[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a GDS parent, I'm embarrassed and furious about its low rate. I want to understand from the administration why it's so low.[/quote] Isn’t that what you chose? It’s a private school. You didn’t want this and the other rules public has to follow. [/quote] Private schools in fact do need to follow vaccine rules. I know the GDS nurse cares about getting the medical forms because when we've been late, she emails us to remind us. So I'm surprised that they are seemingly so lax with exemptions.[/quote] Schools don't grant exemptions in DC. Regardless of the school type, families need to go through DC Health/Community Health Administration for a religious exemption: https://dchealth.dc.gov/service/immunization-forms (The idea that schools do this themselves got started during Covid because they did need to make their own rules for that vaccine specifically.)[/quote]
