The Charter School that my kids have just been accepted into say that

immunizations are mandatory.  The form they gave me does not have the section

that you can sign refusing vaccines.  Do Charter Schools have more " power " over

this decision than normal public schools?  In the public school my 2 older

children are in I always just signed the special section and they gave me no

grief.  I found this online, but has anyone gone through this that knows the

" loopholes " ?   Thanks,

 

Health & Safety Code #120365. states that, it is my legal right to decline such

vaccinations for my child. 120365.  Immunization of a person shall not be

required for admission to a school or other institution listed in Section 120335

if the parent or guardian or adult who has assumed responsibility for his or her

care and custody in the case of a minor, or the person seeking admission if an

emancipated minor, files with the governing authority a letter or affidavit

stating that the immunization is contrary to his or her beliefs.  However,

whenever there is good cause to believe that the person has been exposed to one

of the communicable diseases listed in subdivision (a) of Section 120325, that

person may be temporarily excluded from the school or institution until the

local health officer is satisfied that the person is no longer at risk of

developing the disease.
