The chief administrative officer shall be responsible for the maintenance of immunization records. The chief administrative officer may designate a person to be responsible for record keeping.

Each school shall adopt a uniform permanent health record for maintaining information regarding the health status of each student.

i. The immunization status of the student with regard to each disease shall be noted on the student's individual health record.
ii. The school will provide, upon request from a public health official, a list of each student's date of matriculation.
iii. The school health record for each student enrolled must include, at a minimum, the month and year that each immunizing agent was administered.
iv. Where laboratory evidence of immunity has been submitted, a copy of the documentation must be on file.
v. The school health record for any student with a medical exemption to any immunization requirement must include the written statement required by 20-A MRS §6359(3).
C.List of Non-Immunized Students

The designated record keeper in each school shall keep a listing of the names of all students within the school who are not currently immunized against each disease. This list shall include the names of all students with authorized exemptions from immunization and students who have not met the schedule of minimum requirements for immunizing agents or who are otherwise not in compliance with the applicable laws related to immunization. The list of non immunized students must be made available to the Department, upon request, in times of disease outbreaks, pursuant to 22 MRS §§ 802(1)(B) and (D). The Department will use this list of non-immunized students to quickly identify students vulnerable to the disease outbreak, to inform the chief administrative officer, who must then exclude those non-immunized students during the period of danger, in accordance with 20-A MRS §6359(4).
