The Rutherford County Health Department has a link that allows parents to upload their child's out of state immunization record to be transferred to the TN Certificate of Immunization. The TN certificate can then be emailed to the parent or picked up in person:
All children entering 7th grade (including currently enrolled students) must show evidence of one Tdap dose. This must be documented on an official Tennessee Certificate of Immunization.
Exceptions will be granted to any child whose parent or guardian shall file with school authorities a signed, written statement that such measures conflict with one of the following:
*Regardless of epidemic or pandemic status, religious exemptions related to vaccinations for COVID-19 or any variants will be accepted by RCS in compliance with state law, if RCS ever required such a vaccine.5 Furthermore, the enrollment of any student deemed homeless may not be denied or delayed because of the student's lack of a medical examination or immunization records.
