Everyone who has direct contact with patients, including reception staff, should be up to date with their routine immunisations:
- tetanus.

A new California law will require daycare workers to have vaccinations for measles and whooping cough by next year. The law was approved this week by Gov.
ACIP strongly recommends that all HCWs be vaccinated against (or have documented immunity to) hepatitis B, influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (Table_2). Specific recommendations for use of vaccines and other immunobiologics to prevent these diseases among HCWs follow.
California law requires all children enrolled in state schools, both public and private, to have certain doctor-recommended immunizations, or receive them when they enroll.
All states and the District of Columbia allow a medical exemption. A medical exemption is allowed when a child has a medical condition that prevents them from receiving a vaccine. All but three states offer nonmedical exemptions for religious or philosophical reasons.
Specifically: Centers cannot exclude children with disabilities from their programs unless their presence would pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others or require a fundamental alteration of the program.
The law does not apply to: enrolment in primary or secondary school (however, please note an Immunisation History Statement from the AIR does need to be provided for enrolling in primary school, however there is currently no requirement for the statement to show the child is up to date with all immunisations)
When your child is four years old, one age-specific vaccine is recommended: a combined DTPa/IPV vaccine. This vaccine strengthens their immunity to diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and polio.

Children must receive the vaccines before enrolling in kindergarten and are required to receive others, such as the meningococcal vaccine, in later grades.
Some children 6 months to 8 years old require two doses of flu vaccine for adequate protection from flu. Children in this age group getting vaccinated for the first time, and those who have only previously gotten one dose of vaccine, should get two doses of vaccine this season—spaced at least 4 weeks apart.
Encourage children, parents, and staff to take the following everyday preventive actions to prevent flu [2MB, 2 pages]:
- Stay home when you are sick. If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces or objects.
Those who get flu-like symptoms at school should go home and stay home until at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever or signs of a fever without the use of fever-reducing medicine. Those who have emergency warning signs should get immediate medical care.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the following people are at high risk for developing influenza-related complications: Children younger than 5, but especially children younger than 2 years old. Adults 65 years of age and older. Pregnant women (and women up to two weeks postpartum).
The key is good preparation.
- Keep Vaccinations Up-to-Date. Prior to school starting make sure your children are up-to-date on their vaccinations and health physicals.
- Prepare for Medical Care Away from Home.
- Keep Germs at Bay.
- Practice Good Hand Hygiene.

- Cover coughs and sneezes.

Core vaccines are considered vital to all pets based on risk of exposure, severity of disease or transmissibility to humans. For Dogs: Vaccines for canine parvovirus, distemper, canine hepatitis and rabies are considered core vaccines. Non-core vaccines are given depending on the dog's exposure risk.
Most of the new or underused vaccines, including hepatitis B (HepB) vaccine, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), rotavirus (RV) vaccine, and rubella-containing vaccine, are intended to be included in the routine childhood immunization schedule.
School and Daycare Vaccination Laws20 By the beginning of the twentieth century, nearly half of the states had requirements for children to be vaccinated before they entered school. By 1963, 20 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico had such laws, with a variety of vaccines being mandated.
CDC recommends that infants get rotavirus vaccine to protect against rotavirus disease. Two rotavirus vaccines are currently licensed for infants in the United States.
Every adult should get the Tdap vaccine once if they did not receive it as an adolescent to protect against pertussis (whooping cough), and then a Td (tetanus, diphtheria) booster shot every 10 years. In addition, women should get the Tdap vaccine each time they are pregnant, preferably at 27 through 36 weeks.
