  21. What Is New In FLORIDA SHOTS!

  22. Updates to Immunization Forms in Florida SHOTS Parents may need different forms for different children to meet Florida school immunization requirements. Changes were made to Florida SHOTS in how providers can create and produce some of these forms. These are the: • DH 681 Religious Exemption. • DH 680 Part B Temporary Medical Exemption (TME).

  23. Religious Exemptions in Florida SHOTS • Religious Exemptions DH 681can now be e-signed and created in Florida SHOTS. • Only available at Florida County Health Departments • E-signed only by the CHD Administrator or that individual’s designee who uses Florida SHOTS. • A DH 681 can be created by a CHD individual that uses Florida SHOTS and has been determined an appropriate creator by that county. • Schools that have Florida SHOTS accounts can view and print an e-signed DH 681 that is in the system.
