Description: Infectious disease has been a hot topic—especially with the recent outbreaks of measles—leading many providers and Child Care Resource and Referral (CCR&R) agencies with questions about how to prevent the spread of illness in child care settings. This e-book will help CCR&Rs and providers develop policies and plans to reduce the spread of illness in center or home. We do this by: 1. Discussing the risks of vaccine preventable illnesses. 2. Sharing resources for parents about where to access low-cost vaccines. 3. Best-practices for keeping child care centers and homes clean and sanitized. 4. Discussing how CCR&Rs can work with providers to develop inclusion, exclusion and dismissal policies for illnesses.
