The Immunization Program works to reduce vaccine-preventable diseases by improving immunization coverage rates via case investigation, education, community collaboration, immunization record assessment, and an immunization registry. If you have any questions about your immunizations or your child's immunizations, our Immunization Coordinator is available to answer your questions.

Vaccine Records
If you are looking for your vaccine record, you can access a digital copy from the California Immunization Registry (CAIR) portal. It is possible that some or all of the vaccine doses you received were not reported to CAIR and your record may not be complete. For assistance in finding your records, please call 707-464-0861 to speak with the Immunization Coordinator.
California Immunization Registry (CAIR)
AB 1797 requires California providers to enter immunizations they administer as well as a patient’s race and ethnicity into a California immunization registry (CAIR or Healthy Futures/RIDE). Enroll in CAIR today! To learn more, see the AB 1797 FAQs.
CAIR-ME and Medical Exemptions

To request a medical exemption for your child, follow the instructions. Please note that is must be a provider who is California-licensed and an MD or DO to issue the exemption.
