Tdap Booster/Varicella Vaccination Required for Incoming 7th Graders

*No Shots *No Schedule *No School

Check with your physician and make sure your student is up to date on all immunizations.  For those student's currently in 6th grade, please get your Tdap vaccine and 2 doses of the Varicella vaccine before entering 7th grade and turn in proof of your child's immunization record to the health office.  Children are exempt from immunization requirements only if a parent or guardian submits a Medical Exemption through the California Immunization Registry (CAIR-ME) website.

Under a new law known as SB277, beginning January 1, 2016 exemptions based on personal beliefs, including religious beliefs will no longer be an option for the vaccines that are currently required for entry to a school in California. Most families will not be affected by the new law because their children have received all required vaccinations. Personal beliefs exemptions on file for a child already attending school will remain valid until the child reaches the next immunization checkpoint at kindergarten (including transitional kindergarten) or 7th grade. For more information about SB277, please see the frequently asked questions available at Shots for Schools Webpage.
