(1) Within fourteen (14) days of a
child's initial attendance at any licensed day care facility, the parent or
guardian shall provide a statement to the operator of the day care facility
regarding the child's immunity to certain childhood diseases. This statement
shall provide a certificate signed by a physician or a representative of a
health district, that the child has received, or is in the process of
receiving immunizations as specified by the board of health and welfare; or
can effectively demonstrate, through verification in a form approved by the
department of health and welfare, immunity gained through prior contraction of
the disease.
Immunizations required and the manner and frequency of their
administration shall be as prescribed by the state board of health and welfare
and shall conform to recognized standard medical practices in the state. The
state board of health and welfare shall promulgate appropriate rules and
regulations for the enforcement of the required immunization program and
specify reporting requirements of day care centers, pursuant to the provisions
of chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code.
(2) Any minor child whose parent or guardian has submitted to officials
of a licensed day care facility a certificate signed by a physician licensed
by the state board of medicine stating that the physical condition of the
child is such that all or any of the required immunizations would endanger the
life or health of the child shall be exempt from the provisions of this
section. Any minor child whose parent or guardian has submitted a signed
statement to officials of the day care facility stating their objections on
religious or other grounds shall be exempt from the provisions of this
section.
