There is much in the news about children not being vaccinated and the recent spread of measles in two counties around Portland, OR (see state DPH websites here and here for more information). Since 2016, California law does not allow personal belief exemptions for vaccines; children are required to be fully vaccinated to enter school unless there is a medical reason that the child cannot receive vaccines. As you may already know, East Bay Pediatrics also requires patients to meet a minimum vaccine requirement in order to decrease risk to any of our other patients.
