Exemptions for Immunizations
​
Exemptions to immunization should not be taken because of convenience. Unimmunized students are at greater risk of contracting diseases and spreading them to their families, schools and communities. Schools should maintain an up-to-date list of students with exemptions, so that these students can be excluded from school quickly if an outbreak occurs. For more information about exemptions or to download required form, click here.
​
Starting in 2014, a new California law will modify the process for obtaining exemptions to student immunizations based on personal beliefs. Assembly Bill (AB) 2109 requires documentation that health care practitioners have informed parents about vaccines and diseases. This law expires on January 1, 2016 with enactment of SB277 mentioned below.
​
On June 30, 2015 Governor Brown signed SB 277 making personal and religious belief exemptions not allowed in California, effective July 1, 2016. However, if a parent files a letter or affidavit stating beliefs opposed to immunization prior to Jan. 1, 2016 that exemption will apply until the next grade span. For more information, see the SB277 FAQ page.
