California Immunization Handbook 1996 PDF Download

Whenever children are brought into group settings, there is potential for the spread of dangerous disease. To prevent this, the California School Immunization Law requires that children receive a series of immunizations before entry to schools or child care programs, including a 3-dose hepatitis B series. This handbook explains these requirements and the responsibilities they entail for schools, child care centers, and family child care homes. It provides a reference on immunization requirements and procedures and disease reporting regulations. Includes chapters on transferring and storing immunization records, and computerizing immunization records.
