007.15.4 Table I. Childcare/Pre-school Immunization Requirements.
Instructions for utilizing Table I: Table I is not a recommendation of vaccines to get, but of doses required to already have at that age. To determine what vaccines are required for a child to attend a licensed child care facility, refer to Column 1 on the left to see what age range is correct for the child. Then all the vaccines on the same row as the child's age are required for attendance in a licensed child care facility. Vaccines are required based on the current age of the child. Column 1 is not an age range for when a child can be vaccinated.

If a child is currently ≥49 months of age and does not meet the above criteria or is in process within 15 days, they are not up-to-date and should be scheduled for immunization.
** For Hib and Pneumococcal, children receiving the first dose of vaccine at age 7 months or older require fewer doses to complete the series.
*** 3rd dose of hepatitis B should be given at least 8 weeks after the 2nd dose, at least 16 weeks after the 1st dose, and it should not be administered before the child is 24 weeks of age.
**** Vaccine doses administered up to 4 days before the minimum interval or minimum age can be counted as valid for doses already administered. Exception: The minimum interval between doses of live vaccines (such as MMR and Varicella) must be 28 days.
***** A medical professional is a medical doctor (MD), advanced practice nurse (APN), doctor of osteopathy (DO), or physician assistant (PA). No self or parental history of disease will be accepted.
