JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Hundreds of students at one Indiana high school were forced to leave class yesterday.

It happened at a school in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

The reason, they failed to bring in proof they'd been vaccinated.

A new Indiana law requires all 6th through 12th graders to get new immunizations against the chicken pox, tetanus and meningitis.

On Monday, 500 students came to school without the proof needed.
