Summary
Health Net California has issued new guidance for K-12 student vaccine administration, specifically stating that CDPH does not recommend titer testing for varicella immunity determination and that vaccination is required regardless of titer results unless a valid medical exemption is obtained through the state website.
Action Required
Immediately: Providers must educate parents that titer tests do not exempt students from varicella vaccination requirements. Update patient education materials to reflect CDPH position against serologic testing for varicella immunity. Ensure all medical exemptions are processed through the CDPH state website and completed only by licensed MD or DO. Front desk staff should inform parents that school entry requires vaccination records or state-approved medical exemption, not titer test results.
