AMENDATORY SECTION (Amending Order 85-10, filed 10/21/85)
WAC 392-182-020 Quick verification of immunization records. In the
event the records of a student transferring from one school to another
have not been received before or on the student's first day of attendance
at the new school, the chief administrator or administrator's designee
of the new school shall attempt to verify the immunization status of the
student prior to excluding such student pursuant to the provision of
chapter 180-38 WAC. Such verification of full immunization, commencement
of a schedule of immunization, or a statement of exemption may rely upon
telephonic or electronic communication with the chief administrator or
other appropriate official at the previous school that indicates which
of the specifically required vaccines the student has received and the
month and year in which they were administered.
