Hundreds of students who attend Seattle’s public schools were kept out of classrooms on Jan. 8 after they failed to comply with an updated vaccination law in Washington state.
Speaking to The Seattle Times, district superintendent Denise Juneau said as of 10 a.m. Wednesday, the first day of school after winter break, an estimated 565 students in the district did not have the required immunization records or necessary documents that proved their exemption. That number dropped to 476 by the late afternoon.
