Violations

2
Standard 8VAC20-780-130-E
Based on review of children records, the center failed to obtain additional immunizations once every six months for children under the age of two years.

Evidence:
1. Child #5,(age 20 months), last immunizations on file were dated 11/19/2021. Updated immunizations were required in May 2022, and again in November 2022.
2. Administration verified that there were no updated immunizations obtained for Child #5.
Plan of Correction: Send out reminders informing parents that updated immunizations are needed 60 days before they are required, again at 30 days, 14 days, and one week. This will ensure that families are aware of the required documents needed with plenty of time to work out any problems that might arise before documents are due to us at the center. Updates have been requested to the parent for a copy of the updated immunizations.
Standard 8VAC20-780-500-A

2. Staff #1 verified that she did not wash her hands before completing the diaper change.
