VACCINATION LAW UPDATE AND PERSONAL BELIEFS WAIVER
On January 1, 2016, SBB 277 took effect requiring that all children in California be fully vaccinated to attend public or private school.

See the Parent’s Guide to Immunizations (dated 1/19) and California Immunization Requirements for K – 12th Grade (including TK) for vaccinations required for preschool and grades TK/K-12 school attendance.
SB277 and the New Immunizations Regulations:
- No longer permit immunization exemptions based on personal beliefs for children in child care and public and private schools
- Allow for the enrollment of students who are not yet fully vaccinated who qualify:
- **For an Individualized Education Program (IEP) to access special education and related services (federal law and Section 56026 of the Education Code)
- **As foster or homeless youth (Section 48850 of the Education Code)
- **As conditionally admitted pending full immunization within the time periods designated by regulation of the California Department of Public Health
**Students in the above categories will still need to provide immunization records to their schools before entry.
Please see the links below for additional information on SB277 and new immunization regulations for how they may impact your children.
