(1) Immunization standards for all children in your facility are based on the advisory committee for immunizations practices of the Center for Disease Control (ACIP/CDC). Children placed in your care by the department are required to be immunized according to advisory committee on immunization practices as established in the recommended immunization schedule for persons Aged 0-18 Years, United States, 2012 and as amended each subsequent year, except for rotavirus and human papilloma virus.

(2) Except for overnight youth shelters, if a child who has not received all recommended immunizations is placed in your care, you must take the child to a health care provider as soon as medically possible for catch-up immunizations according to the ACIP/CDC catch-up schedule.

(3) You must contact each child's DCYF caseworker and your LD licensor if a serious infection or a communicable disease is a threat to the children in your care. The department may remove a foster child from your facility when the threat of a serious infection or communicable disease creates a risk to the health of any child placed in your facility.
