Immunization Requirements
The California Senate Bill 277 (SB277) requires all students under age 18 years, pre-kindergarten through grade 12, to be fully vaccinated to attend school unless they have a medical exemption. California Law (SB276) requires medical exemptions to be registered, reviewed and approved by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Register for a medical exemption on CAIR-ME.
