Providers are required to verify that each child in their care has received all immunizations appropriate for the child’s age, as prescribed by the state department of health, or have on file a document stating that the child is medically exempt or exempt from immunizations based on religious, philosophical, or moral beliefs.

 

All children must be up-to-date according to child care immunization requirements or have claimed an exemption within 30 days of enrollment or be excluded from child care.
