It is also important that all employees are fully immunized for communicable diseases. These immunizations lose their potency as you age, check with your health department to see if you are in need of booster shots. If you opt out of immunizations it must be on file. In the event that a child or staff member becomes ill many facilities have the policy that you may be sent home to protect you from exposure.

It is important to note that the Hepatitis B Vaccine can still be effective after an exposure.
