All students initially entering schools in Tennessee are required to have a Te= nnessee Certificate of Immunization. A student meets the legally immuniz= ed standard when the immunization section of the Tennessee Certificate of Immu= nization has been completed with all required immunizations and signed and dated by a medical provider. Verification of a health exam is also required for all children entering Tennessee schools. The exam must be within one year of the date entering school. The bottom portion of the Tennessee Certificate of Immunization provides for th= is verification and also must be signed and dated by a medical provider.
