ClinicalPermission to release immunization data from school record
Definition
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) specifies that schools must receive parental or eligible student permission to share any information from the student's school records. Many schools now include immunization information in those records. At the same time, schools often rely on Immunization information systems (IIS) to assure that they have complete immunization histories. While they may obtain records from the IIS, they may not share additional immunization information with the IIS without permission. This term will be used in OBX-3 to ask the question: Does this person give permission to share immunization records from their school record? (FERPA release on file)
