173 Neb. Admin. Code, ch. 4, § 004

Current through September 17, 2024

Section 173-4-004 - REQUIRED LEVELS OF PROTECTION

For the purposes of complying with the requirement of immunization against the diseases listed in 173 NAC 4-003 and in recognition of the fact that immunization needs vary depending on the age of the child, the required minimum number of doses of each vaccine is indicated in the Childhood Immunization Schedule, Attachment 1, which is incorporated in these regulations by this reference.

004.01 For purposes of compliance with the immunization requirement, the licensee of a child care program must require the presentation of an immunization history which contains:

1. Names of the vaccines;

2. Month and year of administration for DTaP, DTP, DT, Td, Tdap, polio, Hep B, Hib, and pneumococcal vaccine;

3. Day, month, and year of administration of MMR, MMRV, and/or varicella;

4. Name of the health practitioner or agency where the immunizations were obtained; and

5. Signature of the physician, parent, guardian or of other such person maintaining the immunization history of the child, verifying that the child has received these vaccines.

Children with a reliable history of chickenpox (validated by written parental/clinical documentation including year of infection) can be assumed to be immune to varicella and therefore need not receive the varicella vaccination.
