Timely immunizations help prevent the spread of vaccine preventable diseases among children, adolescents and adults. Our Communicable Disease staff provides comprehensive immunization services to reduce the incidents of vaccine preventable diseases. We provide accurate and timely immunization information to private and public health care providers, schools and child care centers, and to the general public.
Seasonal influenza vaccine is distributed by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to Local Health Departments (LHD) for use by local government or private non-profit agencies which include facilities operated by county, non-profit, or other local public agencies in accordance with LHD policies and procedures.

School Immunizations
Immunizations prevent diseases from occurring in children and being transmitted to others. California law requires children entering kindergarten and child care to be appropriately immunized to protect themselves and others. Children and school records are screened to assure that children receive appropriate immunizations. For more information about immunizations required for school entry and other school information, please view the Shots for Kids website.
