For school registration, go to the front office of the elementary or secondary school serving the area of San Diego in which the family lives. Bring to the office the student’s birth certificate and documented proof of immunizations from a physician that shows day, month, and year of each immunization. A student must have received at least one of each type of required immunization before enrolling in the school. If the parent has no record showing the child has been immunized, the child must begin a new series of immunizations before he or she can attend school.
Immunizations may be obtained from a private physician or by contacting San Diego Immunization Branch http://www.sdiz.org/Community/.
