Re: Illinois exemption letter every year?

There is nothing in Illinois law saying you have to resubmit each year.

year or just the years they ask for the paperwork for shots? I looked on the

IVAC website and was unable to find information and you guys are my only other

Hi, I know we have to submit every year for my elementary school. I am in Indiana though. I guess it could be different for each state. What I did, because I wasn't sure, is just not do anything for first grade. They actually called me to tell me I had to submit one every year. So that is how I know.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate having this link to Illinois law. They did

not ask me for it at registration, so unless they say something, i'm obviously

not bringing it up. I think I will have a new on at the ready, tho in case they

ask.

That sounds like a plan. I suspect most schools in most states have no clue what the law is and might assume you need to send it in each year. I only send it if a health form is asked for (and last year I ignored both the public and private schools my kids go to, and didn't send in the required health forms--and no one asked!).

I am so tired of paperwork required for no good reason...

Indiana law does specifically say the exemption must be submitted each year.
