​​​​​​​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 a measles-containing vaccine have been received.  All students entering a California school for the first time must have a Mantoux tuberculosis test.

​As of July 1, 2016, SB 277 eliminated the personal belief exemption from the immunization requirements for schools. Certain students with a valid existing personal belief exemption will remain exempt from the new requirements unless or until they enter transitional kindergarten or seventh grade. (Rev. 09-05-2019)
