Child Care Providers Manual
Vermont Immunization Requirements
The Vermont Department of Health Immunization Program is pleased to provide the newly revised Child Care Provider’s Manual, and resources for completing the annual Child Care Provider's Immunization Status Report. Vermont law requires that all licensed and registered child care providers collect immunization records and submit to the Health Department a summary report showing the vaccination status of the children in your care.
This manual is designed to guide you through the process of collecting and reporting immunization information for children enrolled in your program. The updated manual is organized to help make this process as straightforward and simple as possible.
- Child Care Provider's Manual (replaces the 2011 version) includes guidance for filling out the forms that you will need to complete before doing the survey.
