(a) A licensed school age child care center program may allow a person to be employed or volunteer on the school age child care center premises for up to thirty calendar days if the person signs a written attestation attesting to having received the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, or having immunity from measles, mumps, and rubella, but requiring additional time to obtain and provide immunization records. The required records must include immunization records indicating the employee or volunteer has received the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine; or records that show proof of immunity from measles through documentation of laboratory evidence of antibody titer or a health care provider's attestation of the person's history of measles sufficient to provide immunity against measles.

28A.210.090(3), that the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine is, in the practitioner's judgment, not advisable for the person. This subsection (3)(b) of this section does not apply if a person's health care practitioner determines that the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine is no longer contraindicated.
