California schools are required to check immunization records for all new student admissions at TK/Kindergarten through 12th grade and all students advancing to 7th grade before entry. Parents must show their child’s Immunization Record as proof of immunization.
The California Department of Public Health is still requiring immunizations prior to school entry. Vaccinations are considered an ‘essential’ activity during the pandemic.
California law states that students may not attend school without their shots. Current information can be found on the California Immunization Branch website: https://www.shotsforschool.org/.
