Immunization Requirements
Message From Health Services
Even with current school closures, immunization requirements for admission to school or child care in California for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 school years remain in place. It is important for students to contact their primary care providers to obtain their required immunizations. Complete immunizations need to be presented with registration. https://www.shotsforschool.org/
Parent/Student Handbook:
Immunizations
E.C. 48980; B.P. 5141.31; A.R. 5141.31
To be admitted to school, children must be fully immunized in accordance with the law. Children shall be excluded from school or exempted from immunization requirements only as allowed by law.
California law SB277 no longer allows for a personal beliefs exemption as of July 2016. Any students entering school for the first time in California after July 1, 2016 will need to be fully immunized or have a medical exemption from a California doctor. The only exemption now accepted is a medical exemption written by a California doctor for students for whom immunizations are not medically indicated. The exemption statement should include the vaccine(s) the child is unable to receive, the medical reason and whether it is permanent or temporary. If it is temporary, the date the exemption ends should also be included.
