Immunization

Information on School Requirements and Where to Get Immunizations

Staying current with immunizations is a valuable tool in protecting your child from dangerous diseases.   It is also an essential component of preparing for school and meeting California Immunization Requirements for School Entry. 

Vaccines are free to all children through their health insurance or through public programs such as Medi-Cal and CHDP.  Whenever possible, students should receive vaccines during their annual physical exam with their healthcare provider. 

California schools are required to check immunization records for all new student admissions at TK/Kindergarten through 12th grade. Parent/guardians must upload their child’s Immunization Record as proof of immunization. Both name and date of birth must be on the immunization record.
