Reporting Immunizations to the Health Department
Vermont mandates annual immunization reporting for regulated child care programs, K-12 schools, and colleges to safeguard against vaccine-preventable diseases. This is in line with Vermont's School Entry Immunization Rule, which sets the minimum vaccination requirements.
Annual Immunization Reporting Process
Regulated Programs Notification: In late fall, regulated child care programs, K-12 schools, and colleges will receive an email with a link to complete the annual immunization status report. For an easier reporting process, visit Immunization Reporting Made Easier for Child Care Providers.
Resources and Guidelines
For answers to common questions about vaccination requirements and reporting, see the Frequently Asked Questions from Child Care Providers.
School Nurses: For the roles and responsibilities regarding immunizations, consult Chapter 18 of the Standards of Practice: School Health Services Manual.
