The Annual School Immunization Survey is a self-reporting survey that each Maryland school, public and private, is required to complete and submit to the Maryland Department of Health, Center for Immunization by November 15th each year, per COMAR regulations 10.06.04.09.

The data in this document display school immunization and exemption rates. The Maryland Department of Health does not have the ability to verify the accuracy of the information that was submitted by the schools. Vaccine Requirements: For students in Kindergarten, the minimum immunization requirements for attending a Maryland school in the 2018-19 school year include: 3 doses of DTaP vaccine, 3 doses of Polio vaccine, 2 doses of MMR vaccine, 2 doses of varicella vaccine, and 3 doses of Hep B vaccine. Coverage Rate: The percentage of students that are fully immunized against a specific vaccine preventable disease meeting the minimum immunization school requirements. According to COMAR 10.06.04, a parent or guardian shall provide evidence of age appropriate immunity to the preschool or school authority. A student is considered to not have age appropriate immunity if they need one or more doses of a particular vaccine to meet the vaccine requirements based on the student's grade.

  • IN the MATTER of PETER HERDIC, BANKRUPT. District Court, W
    IN THE MATTER OF PETER HERDIC, BANKRUPT. District Court, W. D. Pennsylvania. February 14, 1880. BANKRUPTCY—OPPOSITION TO DISCHARGE OF BANKRUPT—BURDEN OF PROOF.—Although suspicious circumstances may in certain cases be sufficient to authorize a court to find the concealment or fraudulent appropriation of money by a bankrupt, yet it is well settled that the burdent of sustaining specifications of objection to the discharge of a bankrupt rests upon the opposing creditors. SAME—PROPER BOOKS OF ACCOUNT—DISCHARGE.—The provision of the bankrupt law which withholds a discharge, “if the bankrupt, being a merchant or tradesman, has not at all times, after the second day of March, 1867, kept proper books of account,” applies only to merchants and tradesmen in respect to their business as such merchants and tradesmen. In bankruptcy, on specifications of opposition to the bankrupt’s discharge. Henry C. Parsons, H. C. McCormick and Mr. Crocker, for opposing creditors. Clinton Lloyd and John M. Kennedy, for the bankrupt. ACHESON, J. Certain creditors of the bankrupt, Peter Herdic, having filed specifications of opposition to his discharge, they were referred to Frederick E. Smith, Esq., register, with directions to take testimony thereon and make report of the 243 facts to the court. The register took and returned to the court the testimony offered by the respective parties, and made a report favorable to the bankrupt upon all the specifications. Upon the coming in of the register’s report the case was fully and very ably argued by the counsel of the opposing creditors and of the bankrupt. Since the argument I have attentively read the testimony, and the case has received careful consideration.
