The Panel Physician has no authority to recommend an exemption from the required immunizations unless there is proof of a valid medical contraindication signed by your doctor. The Panel Physician will accept a verbal declaration that your child had chickenpox. However the Panel Physician CANNOT accept a verbal declaration for the other immunization requirements.
