To obtain a student's tetanus immunization records from their school, which form must the parent have signed?

  1. CDC immunization waiver
  2. HIPAA authorization form
  3. OSHA disclosure form
  4. FERPA written consent form
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. FERPA written consent form

  • A. Incorrect. The CDC issues public health guidelines but has no waiver form for accessing school records.
  • B. Incorrect. HIPAA applies to health information held by healthcare providers — school immunization records are EDUCATIONAL records protected by FERPA, not HIPAA.
  • C. Incorrect. OSHA has no disclosure form for school records.
  • D. Correct. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects student educational records, including school health/immunization records. A FERPA written consent/authorization signed by the parent/guardian is required.
