RULE §744.613What immunizations must a child in my care have?
(a) Each child enrolled or admitted to your operation must meet and continue to meet applicable immunization requirements specified by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS). This requirement applies to all children in care through 14 years of age.

 (b) You must maintain current immunization records for each child in your care, including any immunization exemptions or exceptions.

(c) All immunizations required for the child's age must be completed by the date of admission, unless:

  (1) The child is exempt or excepted from an immunization, and you verify the exemption or exception by the date of admission; or

  (2) The child is homeless or in foster care and is provisionally admitted for up to 30 days because evidence of immunization is not available. You should immediately refer the child to an appropriate health-care professional to obtain the required immunizations. The DSHS rule at 25 TAC §97.66 (relating to Provisional Enrollment for Students) establishes the guidelines for a provisional enrollment.
