WSP Immunization Policy

Immunization and Medical Records


The State of California School Attendance Law requires that all children entering school comply with the Department of Health regulations summarized below. California School Health Record forms are available in the school office.
All children entering school for the first time must submit evidence of a negative tuberculin test before entering school. In addition, a complete physical examination by a licensed physician is required, and evidence of immunization against communicable diseases (polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis [DTP or DtaP]; measles, mumps, rubella [MMR]; hepatitis B). Kindergarten and out-of-state entrants (Grades 1 through 8) must also be immunized for varicella. Students in Grade 7 are required to have a TdaP booster. The Department of Health suggests that children in Grades 1, 4, and 7 receive a physical exam. Children returning to school require booster shots for immunizations. These are usually complete after the first four years of school.


Immunization and examination exemptions


Consistent with State Laws, the school permits written medical and personal belief exemptions and maintains a list of students who have filled an exemption so as to properly exclude them in case of an outbreak.
