Immunization Program Resources for Children, Adults and Pregnant Women
Recommendations on how to use vaccines to stop dangerous diseases in the United States are made by a group of medical and public health professionals called the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The ACIP makes different recommendations for vaccines depending on age and risk factors. Before it is licensed, a vaccine must go through a rigorous process with scientists and medical professionals to ensure that it is safe and effective.

California law requires all students attending public or private schools to be vaccinated against certain infectious diseases to keep themselves and their classmates safe. The school must have a copy of each student’s vaccination record on file. Which vaccines are required varies by the student’s age and grade; information can be found below. The best place to get vaccinated is at your doctor’s office, but for people without a doctor or insurance, free vaccination clinics are available in Alameda County. State law says, “No Shots, No Records, No School!”
