Immunization

• As per Basic School Approval Guidelines, children enrolled in a public preschool program shall be in compliance with Maine Department of Education Reg 126 or Maine Department of Health and Human Services Reg. 262, which requires a certificate of immunization to be enrolled in or attend school, unless exempted under that law.
• Each child’s record should reflect up-to-date status according to the Day Care Immunization Standards as set forth by the Maine Bureau of Health Immunization Program (based on recommendations made by the Centers for Disease Control’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.) Dates of immunization (month/day/year) and vaccine type shall be on file.
