If Medical Exemption is granted by a physician, the parent must submit the formal letter from CAIR-ME to the school to meet California’s Immunization requirements.

School Entry Health Examination Requirement
CHDP works with schools to meet the requirement of having a completed health assessment 18 months before or up to 90 days after enrolling in first grade.
The CHDP program assists families to meet the requirement by linking families with CHDP providers to obtain health assessments. The certificate “Report of Health Examination for School Entry” is available through the local CHDP program, schools, and provider offices.

Kindergarten Oral Health Assessment Requirement
California law requires your child to receive an assessment of their oral health as part of school readiness activities for kindergarten entry (or first grade if this is your child’s first year in public school).
An oral health assessment (or oral health assessment waiver) conducted the year prior to kindergarten, or by May of your child’s kindergarten year, satisfies this requirement.
