Children who show an undue burden or a lack of access to
a dentist shall receive a waiver from the requirement for a dental
examination. (Section 27-8.1(1.5) of the School Code) With the notice required
in Section 665.410, the school or district shall provide notice of the

include a Department-prescribed form that may be used to demonstrate the child's
eligibility for a waiver.
a) For
the purposes of this Section, an undue burden or lack of access to a dentist

1) The
child is enrolled in the free and reduced lunch program and is not covered by
private or public (Medicaid/KidCare) dental insurance.
2) The
child is enrolled in the free and reduced lunch program and is ineligible for
public insurance (Medicaid/KidCare).
3) The
child is enrolled in Medicaid/KidCare, but the parent or guardian is unable to

and accepts Medicaid/KidCare.

child does not have any type of dental insurance, and there are no low-cost
dental clinics in the community that will see the child.

SECTION 665.510 RELIGIOUS OBJECTION
Section 665.510 Religious Objection
a) Children entering any public, private or parochial
school or a preschool program operated by an elementary or secondary school or
institution of higher learning whose parents or legal guardians object to
health, dental or eye examinations or any part thereof, to immunizations, or
to vision and hearing screening tests on religious grounds shall not be
required to undergo the examinations, tests or immunizations to which they so
object if such parents or legal guardians present to the appropriate local
school authority a signed Certificate of Religious Exemption detailing the
grounds for the objection and the specific immunizations, tests or examinations
to which they object in accordance with subsections (f) and (g).
b) The
grounds for the religious objection must set forth the specific religious
belief that conflicts with the examination, test, immunization or other medical
intervention. The religious objection stated need not be directed by the tenets
of an established religious organization. However, general philosophical or
moral reluctance to allow physical examinations, eye examinations,
immunizations, vision and hearing screenings, or dental examinations does not
provide a sufficient basis for an exception.
c) The
signed Certificate of Religious Exemption shall also reflect the parent's
or legal guardian's understanding of the school's exclusion policies in the
case of a vaccine-preventable disease outbreak or exposure.
d) The
Certificate of Religious Exemption must also be signed by the authorized
examining health care provider responsible for the performance of the child's
health examination confirming that the provider provided education to the
parent or legal guardian on the benefits of the immunization and the health
risks to the student and to the community of the communicable diseases for
which immunization is required in this State. However, the health care
provider's signature on the certificate reflects only that education was
provided and does not allow the health care provider grounds to determine a
religious exemption.
e) The
local school authority is responsible for determining if the content of the
Certificate of Religious Exemption constitutes a valid religious objection.
The local school authority shall inform the parent or legal guardian of
exclusion procedures in accordance with the Control of Communicable
Diseases Code at the time the objection is presented. The Certificate
of Religious Exemption form shall be placed on file in the student's permanent
record.
f) Parents
or legal guardians must submit the Certificate of Religious Exemption to their
local school authority prior to entering kindergarten, sixth, and ninth grade
for each child for which they are requesting an exemption. (Section 27-8.1(8) of the School Code)
g) Use
of the Certificate of Religious Exemption applies to students transferring into
school districts at any grade or students entering preschool programs operated
by elementary or secondary schools. If the permanent record transferred with
the student includes a valid Certificate of Religious Exemption, the new school
district or preschool program shall accept the Certificate presented as if the
Certificate had been initially presented to the new school.
h) The
Certificate of Religious Exemption and subsections (a), (b), (c) and (d) are
also applicable to children entering child care facilities not operated by an
elementary or secondary school or institution of higher learning whose parents
or legal guardians object to health, dental or eye examinations, immunizations
or vision or hearing screening tests on religious grounds. The child care
facility shall inform the parents or legal guardians of outbreak control
exclusion procedures, in accordance with the Control of Communicable Diseases
Code, at the time the religious exemption is presented. The child care
facility shall attach the form to the child's health record and place the
record in the child's permanent record.

Section 665.520 Medical Exemption
a) Any medical exemption from an immunization shall be:
1) Made by the examining physician licensed to practice medicine
in all its branches, an advanced practice nurse or a physician assistant responsible
for the performance of the health examination indicating what the medical
condition of the child is that makes administration of one or more of the
required immunizing agents medically contraindicated; and
2) Endorsed and signed by the examining physician, advanced
practice nurse or physician assistant responsible for the performance of the
health examination on the health examination form.
b) An examining physician licensed to practice medicine in all
its branches, an advanced practice nurse or physician assistant responsible for
the performance of the health examination may consider including without
limitation the nationally accepted recommendations from federal agencies such
as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the information outlined
in the relevant vaccine information statement, and vaccine package inserts,
along with the examining physician's, advanced practice nurse's or physician
assistant's clinical judgment, to determine whether any child may be more
susceptible to experiencing an adverse vaccine reaction than the general
population, and if so, the examining physician, advanced practice nurse or
physician assistant may exempt the child from an immunization or adopt an
individualized immunization schedule. (Section 27-8.1(8) of the School
Code) Any exemption based upon an adverse vaccine reaction from an immunizing
agent shall be endorsed and signed by the examining physician licensed to
practice medicine in all its branches, advanced practice nurse or physician
assistant responsible for the performance of the health examination.
c) The
child care facility or local school authority shall attach the form to the
child's health record and place the record in the child's permanent record. The
child care facility or local school authority shall inform the parents or legal
guardians of outbreak control exclusion procedures, in accordance with the
Control of Communicable Diseases Code, at the time the medical exemption is
presented.
d) Should
the medical condition of the child later indicate that immunization is no
longer contraindicated to the health of the child, the immunization
requirements will then have to be met.
