Guide to School Immunization Requirements
Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health (MCAH)
The State of California requires schools,
childcare centers and family child care homes to assess and
maintain immunization records. Reports on the status of
kindergarten students and all children over age two enrolled in
day care are completed annually. State regulations specify the
vaccines required and establish the proper procedures for
collecting, assessing, reporting and maintaining this information.
