I'm sorry, I'm not the parent.
My licensor questioned me the first time she saw all the waivers - they ask for 5 child files. All 5 had waivers signed. Then she just moved on to the next line on her checklist when I told her why.
The state can't require immunizations. They only require the form is in the file and filled out.
It seems kind of silly to me to require the provider to remind parents about the vaccinations and insist on records being kept when the vaccines are not required for the child to be in care. Since a waiver can be used for pretty much any reason, it just seems like a lot of work for nothing.
