News:

  • California school and childcare ​vaccine requirements remain the same despite recent federal changes. All vaccines recommended by CDPH, including those required for child care or school, continue to be covered by insurance​ in California.​​​​

  • Every week, thousands of school and child care staff use the School and Child Care Roster Lookup (SCRL) tool. Have you signed up yet to use it? SCRL can help staff easily determine whether students meet all immunization requirements to enter school or child care. For more information about SCRL, visit SCRL Resources.​​

  • ​2025–2026​ Audits: Annual financial and compliance au​dits of public schools will include an immunization component for schools with kindergarten or 7th grade. ​​​​
