Summary

The Informed Parents, Healthy Schools Act directs the California Department of Public Health to establish and update minimum immunization rates for schools, and to alert schools when those rates dip. Schools must then inform parents within ten business days, providing clear information in any language spoken by at least 15% of students. The goal is to keep vaccination levels high and protect children from disease outbreaks.
