How CAIR Helps Schools                              and Child Care Facilities

• The School and Childcare Roster Lookup (SCRL) is now available! An invitation to register was sent to authorized CAIR2 School Users on 10/25/22. This new application quickly returns the immunization status for each child on your roster found in the California Immunization Registry (CAIR), using pre-K or K–12 immunization requirements. You can easily see which children are up to date or behind on their immunizations.
