Nevada law aims to reduce disease outbreaks, letter from Nevada State Immunization Program outlines details Child care and accommodation facilities are prone to disease outbreaks. Children in child care and accommodation settings can easily spread illnesses due to poor hand washing, not covering their coughs and sneezes, and other factors related to interacting in crowded environments. When children are not vaccinated, they are at an increased risk of disease susceptibility and can also spread diseases to others in their classrooms and community. Nevada law has instituted immunization requirements for enrollment in child care and accommodation facilities. A child is considered up to date with the required immunizations when they have received all age appropriate vaccines upon facility enrollment. Child care and accommodation facilities have a critical role in ensuring children are up to date with the required immunizations upon enrollment. A detailed letter posted below (PDF) reminds child care and accommodation facility leaders about the immunization requirements for a child’s enrollment and their role and authority in enforcing and promoting compliance.
