CALIFORNIA STATE IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS
Proof of complete immunization records must be provided and verified. It is required by California State law that all students have complete records of immunizations prior to entering school. Children will not be admitted to a classroom unless the immunizations are up-to-date. The Governor's signing of Senate Bill 277 removes the personal belief exemption (PBE) from school immunization requirements. This means that beginning January 1, 2016, public and private preschools and schools can no longer accept PBE (for religious or non-religious reasons) for school entry. In addition, beginning with the 2019-20 school year, there are additional immunizations required for new student admission and student promotion from 6th to 7th grade. Please see the New School Immunization Requirements message below for more information.
California PS Specific Requirements: All students entering into 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th grades will need proof of an adolescent whooping cough booster shot (Tdap) before starting school.
