Sec. 6. (a) The state department of health shall collect immunization data on school age children using the state immunization data registry. Each school corporation shall ensure that all applicable immunization information is complete in the state immunization data registry not later than the first Friday in February each year. The state department of health shall use the data to create aggregate reports.
(b) The state department of health and the local health department shall, for good cause shown that there exists a substantial threat to the health and safety of a student or the school community, be able to validate immunization reports by onsite reviews or examinations of nonidentifying immunization record data. This section does not independently authorize the state department of health, a local department of health, or an agent of the state department of health or local department of health to have access to identifying medical or academic record data of individual students attending nonaccredited nonpublic schools.
(c) The state department of health has exclusive power to adopt rules for the administration of this section.
