The California Immunization Registry Medical Exemption web site is a secure site for physicians to issue and manage standardized medical exemptions for children in school or child care. Parents use the same site to enter and update information so their child’s doctor can issue a medical exemption. Schools and child care facilities can review and receive updates regarding medical exemptions issued for children in attendance.
For Physicians
