EXAMINATIONS AND INOCULATIONS

A student, with the permission of the parent or guardian, may be subject to routine tests in school, including auditory, visual, and dental inspection and, upon referral by the principal, to a complete physical examination and/or other professional help. A tuberculosis patch test and/or X-rays, immunization for prevention of diphtheria and smallpox vaccination may be given only with the explicit written permission of the parents.

IMMUNIZATION

All directives regarding immunization, issued annually by the State of California, shall be implemented. No student may be unconditionally admitted to school unless he or she has been immunized against poliomyelitis, measles, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and varicella for first admission to schools in California. In addition, Hepatitis B immunization is required for students entering preschool and kindergarten. All students entering grade seven are required to present documentation showing the dates when three doses of Hepatitis B and two doses of measles-containing vaccine have been received. All students entering a California school for the first time must have a Mantoux tuberculosis test. Immunization is not required for admission if a parent or guardian presents a written statement from a physician to the effect that immunization is not considered safe or reasonable beneficial to the individual student.
