The Immunization Program will accept official immunization records from another state or country. The information from those records may be transferred to the yellow card or the California Immunization Registry (CAIR) Region IV.

California school law does not allow children to enter day care, pre-school, public or private schools without written documentation of immunization history. Every effort should be made to locate the immunization record from a medical provider and/or the last school the child attended. If the immunization record can not be located then the child will have to begin their shots again. For more information contact the Stanislaus County Immunization Program at (209) 558-7700.

Your child’s immunization record is very important! It will be needed for entry to child care, Head Start, pre-schools, schools and college. If you lose your child’s record, ask your health care provider to give you a new copy, with all the immunizations recorded and properly documented. If you cannot get the information re-documented by your provider, your child may have to get the shots all over again. So keep your child’s record in a safe place with other important documents. For more information please contact the Stanislaus County Immunization Program at (209) 558-7700.
