Section 2. Section 3322 of Article 3, Chapter 3, Division 1 of Title 10 of the Guam Code Annotated is hereby repealed and reenacted to read: "Section 3322. Vaccination and Immunization. (a) No student shall be permitted to attend any public or private school, college or university within Guam unless evidence is presented to the enrolling officer of such school, college or university that the student child is free from any communicable diseases and has had all the required vaccinations or immunizations as the Director shall in conformity with Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice ('ACIP') of the United States Department of Human Services and the American Academy of Pediatrics ('AAP'); provided, that in the event that the recommendations of the ACIP and the AAP differ, the Department shall determine which recommendations shall apply, except that exemption may be granted to a student in a case when the vaccination or immunization would be against his or her religious beliefs and would not constitute a contagious health risk for the public at large, as certified by the Director, or upon certification by a parent or guardian of a student who is a minor that such vaccination or immunization would be against their religious belief and would not constitute a contagious health risk for the public at large, as certified by the Director, or to a student who has been certified by a Guam licensed medical doctor that said student should be exempt from this Section where medical contraindication to his or her receiving a specific vaccine exists.
(b) Certificates of medical and religious exemption shall be kept on file in Bureau of Communicable Diseases Control of the Department. A copy of the certificate for medical and religious exemption shall be included in the student's record at the school.
(c) The Director shall notify enrolling officers of all schools and shall notify all parents by public media of any changes to the existing immunization schedules no later than March 1 of each year to allow for the smooth opening of traditionally scheduled schools.
(d) The Director shall require vaccination and immunization of any person or persons suspected as carriers of a communicable disease upon entering or leaving Guam which the Director believes may present a risk to the public health of Guam. In case of an epidemic or to control a possible epidemic of a communicable disease, the Director may direct that the general population be vaccinated and immunized against said disease. Students who are not immunized for whatever reason may be excluded from schools at the direction of the Director in case of an epidemic or to control a possible epidemic."

H-440.970 Religious Exemptions from Immunizations
Since religious/philosophic exemptions from immunizations endanger not only the health of the unvaccinated individual, but also the health of those in his or her group and the community at large, the AMA
(1) encourages state medical associations to seek removal of such exemptions in statutes requiring mandatory immunizations;
(2) encourages physicians and state and local medical associations to work with public health officials to inform religious groups and others who object to immunizations of the benefits of vaccinations and the risk to their own health and that of the general public if they refuse to accept them; and
(3) encourages state and local medical associations to work with public health officials to develop contingency plans for controlling outbreaks in exempt populations and to intensify efforts to achieve high immunization rates in communities where groups having religious exemptions from immunizations reside. (CSA Rep. B, A-87; Reaffirmed: Sunset Report, I-97)
