What if the student is homeless and subject to the McKinney-Vento Act?
Children affected by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act are not specially exempt from the Tdap law vaccination requirements. CDPH has notified local health departments in California to promptly identify and immunize students affected by the McKinney-Vento Act. CDPH recommends that schools work closely with local health departments as needed to give Tdap to unimmunized homeless children. Local health departments can provide information about clinics and other accommodations for urgently needed immunizations.
