Are students required to receive immunizations if they remain virtual?
The Maryland Department of Health has not lifted the requirement for immunizations, which are still required for entry into school and are vital for children’s overall health and wellness. On August 26, 2020, the Maryland State Department of Education shared that "After consulting with the [Maryland Department of Health] and MSDE Attorney General’s offices, it has been determined that school immunization requirements remain in effect whether students are in the physical school building or are participating through virtual learning."
