Massachusetts H2541 protects medical exemptions for immunizations for school attendance.

Massachusetts H2541 amends the General Laws to protect medical exemptions for immunizations for school attendance. It ensures that a physician who provides a Medical Certification for a child's exemption is not subject to disciplinary action by any governing or licensing authority. Medical Certifications must be submitted at the beginning of each school year and are confidential, not admissible as evidence without written consent. The bill aims to safeguard physicians from repercussions for providing such certifications.
