a. It conflicts with the parents or guardians or individual’s religious tenets & practices.
b. A qualified physician certifies that administration of such immunization would be in any manner harmful to the individual involved, due to pregnancy, allergy to the vaccine, or other valid medical reasons.

The General Assembly of the State of Tennessee mandates that each public or private postsecondary institution in the state provide information concerning hepatitis B infection to all students matriculating for the first time. Tennessee law requires that such students complete and sign a Hepatitis B waiver form (pdf file) provided by the institution that includes detailed information about the disease.
