CHILDCARE IMMUNIZATION
REQUIREMENTS
|
Immunizing our children is a great way to keep them happy and healthy. To attend a licensed childcare facility in Idaho, a child must receive the required immunizations outlined below no later than the age-deadline specified. This means a child has received all of the doses of each vaccine appropriate for the child's age.
Parents/guardians must present their child’s immunization record to the childcare provider within 14 days of the child’s initial attendance.
