Immunizations

The California school immunization law requires that all children entering school receive proper immunizations to protect them from serious illness and to prevent the spread of communicable diseases:  polio, measles, rubella, mumps, hepatitis B, varicella (chickenpox), diphtheria, tetanus, haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib meningitis), and whooping cough.

A child shall not be enrolled until documentation showing current immunizations is presented to the school, unless there is proof of homeless.  If there is a documented medical reason for exemption, or if immunizations are against one's personal beliefs, please consult with school personnel.

A complete list of required immunizations can be found at the California Department of Health Services website.
