Utah · 2026–2027 School Year

Utah school health forms:
the complete checklist.

Utah requires documented immunization records for all children attending public or private school under Utah Code §53G-9-303. Utah also maintains the USIIS registry — one of the most accessible state immunization systems for parents. Here is every form, where to get it, and the deadlines.

Required Documents

1. Utah Immunization Record

Under Utah Code §53G-9-303, every child entering a Utah school must have immunization records on file. Utah follows the CDC-recommended schedule and requires documentation of the following vaccines:

Verify with USIIS: Utah parents can access their child's immunization records through the Utah Statewide Immunization Information System (USIIS) via the MyUtah Portal, through their healthcare provider, or through their local health department. Most Utah providers report vaccines to USIIS automatically. (Source: Utah DHHS — USIIS for Parents; Utah Code §53G-9-303, accessed Aug 31, 2026)

2. Physical exam — not required at the state level

Utah does not require a physical exam for school enrollment at the state level. However, individual school districts may request a health screening or sports physical. Always check with your specific school district for local requirements.

Even without a state mandate, a well-child visit before school starts is the best time to verify immunization records, update USIIS, and address any catch-up doses your child may need.

Sports physicals: Utah requires a sports physical (pre-participation exam) for students participating in UHSAA-sanctioned athletics. This is separate from school enrollment and must be completed annually. (Source: Utah High School Activities Association, accessed Aug 31, 2026)

3. Utah's 7th-grade Tdap and meningococcal requirement

Utah requires a Tdap booster and the first dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MenACWY) for students entering 7th grade. These are in addition to the childhood immunization series and must be documented before the student begins classes.

Schedule your child's 11-year well-child visit to receive both doses. Most Utah pediatricians administer Tdap and MenACWY at the same visit and update USIIS automatically.

Deadlines & Timing

Your Utah school enrollment timeline

1

Check USIIS for your child's complete record (4–6 weeks before school)

Access USIIS through the MyUtah Portal or ask your pediatrician to print a USIIS summary. Verify all required doses are present.

2

Schedule catch-up doses if needed (2–4 weeks before)

If any required vaccines are missing, schedule a catch-up appointment with your pediatrician. Utah allows conditional enrollment while a documented catch-up schedule is in progress.

3

Submit immunization records to your school

Provide the school with a USIIS printout or physician-signed immunization record before the first day of school. The school health office verifies compliance through USIIS.

Exemptions

Medical, religious, and personal belief exemptions

Utah recognizes medical, religious, and personal belief exemptions from school immunization requirements under Utah Code §53G-9-304. Medical exemptions require a physician's statement. Personal belief and religious exemptions require completing an online education module through the Utah Department of Health and Human Services before submitting the exemption form to the school.
