§ 182c. Admission or enrollment—Provisional or emergency

Any student or preschool child may be provisionally enrolled in a school, daycare center or social treatment center, if the student or preschool child has received at least one dose of each one of the vaccines required by the Secretary of Health as established in § 182i of this title. The student or preschool child must present a written certificate from the professional that administered the dose, along with a plan for the completion of the doses required for his immunization.

The immunization record of each student or preschool child provisionally admitted to the school, daycare center, or social treatment center shall be reviewed by the registrar, daycare center director, or social treatment center director, every sixty (60) days until the student or preschool child has received the necessary dosage for his immunization.

All the doses administered subsequent to the provisional admission shall be entered in the immunization record that shall be kept by the school, daycare center and social treatment center. Said record must be periodically updated so that the immunizations received by the student or preschool child are added to it.

Those students or preschool children that have been provisionally admitted and who do not comply with the immunization requirement at the specified intervals of time shall be excluded from the school, daycare center, or social treatment center by the registrar until they receive the necessary doses for immunization.

In cases of emergency enrollment in a daycare center, social treatment center, or cases of protection of preschool children, who have not received any of the doses required by this chapter, they may be provisionally admitted. The director of the daycare center or social treatment center shall have the responsibility of assuring that within a period of not more than two weeks he shall start to receive the corresponding doses and that he complies with the other provisions of this section. This includes minors whose enrollment is ordered by the Court of First Instance, Affairs of Minors.
