Waldorf School Orange County complies with all California vaccination and reporting laws and encourages parents to make informed vaccination decisions in partnership with their family health care provider. The school operates in accordance with California Health & Safety Code 120325(c), in which the legislature provides “exemptions from immunization for medical reasons.” Assembly Bill (AB) 2109 requires documentation that health care practitioners have informed parents about vaccines and diseases.

In the case of an outbreak, children who are not fully immunized may be temporarily excluded from attending school. More details are available at the website.
