Connecticut is one of a handful of states that accepts only medical exemptions — no religious, no personal belief. That makes having your child's immunization records organized and complete especially important. Here is exactly what Connecticut schools require, how to access your records, and what to do if anything is missing.

These grade-7 requirements are separate from the childhood series. A student who completed all kindergarten requirements still needs Tdap and MenACWY documented before the first day of 7th grade.
CT WiZ is Connecticut's statewide immunization information system, maintained by the Department of Public Health. Most Connecticut healthcare providers report administered vaccines to CT WiZ.
Visit ctwizpublicportal.dph.ct.gov. Parents and guardians can access their minor child's immunization records directly through this portal.
Your child's pediatrician can print a CT WiZ summary at any visit. If doses are missing from the registry (common for vaccines given out of state), bring the original records to your provider to update CT WiZ.
Connecticut local health departments can also access CT WiZ and provide an official immunization record. This is especially useful if you've recently moved and haven't established a pediatrician yet.
If your child is missing required doses, Connecticut law allows conditional enrollment — the child can attend school temporarily while completing a documented catch-up schedule. The school health office will work with your pediatrician to set a timeline. However, if the schedule is not followed, the school can exclude the child until compliance is achieved.
Common gaps for families new to Connecticut:
With Connecticut's medical-only exemption policy, complete immunization records aren't optional — they're essential. Family Stork keeps your child's entire vaccination history organized in one place, across every provider and every state.
Give any clinic your child's private @families.familystork.com address. They send vaccine records and visit summaries — the health timeline builds itself. When the school nurse asks for documentation, you open one app and hand over a complete record.

Connecticut recognizes medical exemptions only from school immunization requirements under Public Act 21-6 (effective April 28, 2021). A medical exemption requires a physician's written statement documenting a specific medical contraindication to a particular vaccine.
