In accordance with Iowa state law, Drake University allows students to request immunization exemptions under certain circumstances, including medical or religious grounds, though these requests are subject to review and approval by University health officials. The exemption process requires students to complete and submit the appropriate documentation—such as signed statements or medical forms—to ensure compliance with public health standards. For full details, guidelines, and required forms associated with the immunization exemption policy, see Drake’s official policy page and Health Center resources: Communication Regarding Immunization Exemptions and Health Policies and Forms.
