HSC 1597.622(a)(1) · Type B
(1) Commencing September 1, 2016, a person shall not be employed or volunteer at a family day care home if he or she has not been immunized against influenza, pertussis, and measles. Each employee and volunteer shall receive an influenza vaccination between August 1 and December 1 of each year. This requirement is not met as evidenced by: Based on record review, the licensee did not comply with the section cited above as 2 of 3 staff files reviewed by LPA did not have proof of immunization for MMR and 1 of 3 staff files reviewed did not have proof of immunization for Tdap, which poses/posed a potential health, safety or personal rights risk to persons in care.
Shortlist replaces people’s names in the state’s text with initials. This is done by rule, not by hand, so it can miss a name or shorten a word that isn’t one. The state’s report, linked on each row, has the original.
