The DOH asks all licensed child care providers to complete and submit the survey by Friday, Sept. 19. The completion of the survey is intended to meet the state’s reporting requirements regarding immunization for children in child care group settings.
A number of resource materials are available to help with reviewing immunization records and completing the survey, including:
The new survey is longer because of its new format. The DOH developed immunization tracking sheets that follow the survey questions. Before taking the survey this year and in future years, completing the tracking sheets will help child care providers take the survey.
The DOH and county or municipal Health Department staff - mostly registered nurses - will visit selected child care providers to offer education, resource materials, and other items or activities about the importance of vaccines and to answer questions.
Any questions should be sent to the DOH at RA-DHImmunize@pa.gov. The survey is available on the DOH’s website.
