 8 such immunization may be detrimental to a child's health, the require-
 9 ments of this section shall be inapplicable until such immunization is
 10 found no longer to be detrimental to the child's health by the child's
 11 physician, nurse practitioner or physician's assistant. The department
 12 or any other state agency, board or commission may not require any other
 13 condition or requirement for the medical exemption to immunization or
 14 immunizations provided for in this section for school admission.
