The ECELS follows the immunization requirements that are made by the County of San Diego and the State of California. Imm<\/em>unization requirements must be met before a child can begin, so please set your child\u2019s start date with this in mind.<\/strong><\/em> The start date on the contract is the date that fees will begin to be incurred; therefore, it is in the parent\u2019s best interest to ensure that immunization requirements have been fully met before committing to a start date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Parents’ Guide to Immunizations<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span>: Provides parents with information on the requirements for immunizations. Also explains the new laws regarding exemptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, age, marital status, family\/parental status, income derived from a public assistance program, political beliefs, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity, in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA (not all bases apply to all programs).
