Child care centers are places for children to learn and grow. Studies show that a high quality child care program will help prepare a child for school readiness by increasing their chances to succeed.
However, parents need to be reassured that their child is safe each day when they drop their child off at a child care center. One of the best ways to assure their child's safety is to make sure their child is up-to-date on their immunizations.
Child care centers, like schools, have to know the immunization status of the children in their care. This information not only protects other children but also the center's staff from harmful and deadly vaccine-preventable diseases. It is the responsibility of the child care operator to maintain the immunization histories of all children in their care in an effort to protect everyone who walks in that center's door.
