Sec. 15-17. Vaccination of school teachers and pupils.[147]
Every teacher and pupil shall, within ten days after entering
the city schools, furnish a certificate from a reputable
physician certifying that such teacher or pupil has been successfully
vaccinated for smallpox or a certificate from the
health officer that such teacher or pupil is entitled to exemption
from vaccination by reason of a peculiar physical condition;
but nothing in this section shall preclude the school
board from requiring immediate vaccination in the case of
an epidemic of smallpox or the annual revaccination of those
who have not furnished certificates of proper vaccination.
(Code 1959, § 15-17.)
