California Code § 1597.622(a)(1): Family Daycare Immunization

❌ Common Mistakes

• Treating the December 1 flu shot deadline as a suggestion rather than a hard cutoff. Providers plan to 'get to it next week' and suddenly it's December 3 with unvaccinated staff on-site. Inspectors document the exact date the vaccination was missing.
• Forgetting that occasional volunteers need full immunization records. A parent who reads stories every Friday or a church volunteer who helps at pickup is subject to the same vaccine requirements as paid staff. CCLD doesn't distinguish between paid and unpaid caregivers.
• Accepting verbal confirmation instead of collecting actual immunization records. A staff member saying 'I got my flu shot at CVS last week' isn't documentation. Inspectors need to see the vaccine record in the personnel file, and a missing record is treated the same as a missing vaccine.
• Overlooking the pertussis and measles requirements because the flu shot gets all the attention. Providers stay current on annual flu vaccines but never verify that staff have up-to-date Tdap and MMR documentation from their initial hire.
