Immunisation staff/children Policy

Aim: 
 
To minimise the risk of exposure to infectious diseases transmitted from person to person and prevent illness and other risks from vaccine preventable diseases by appropriate immunisation.
 
Explanation:
 
Children and staff may be exposed to diseases that are preventable by immunisation. The most effective method of preventing certain infections is immunisation. Immunisation protects the person who has been immunised, children who are too young to be vaccinated, and other people who have been vaccinated but did not respond to the vaccine.
 
Implementation:

  • All families must provide a copy of their child’s medicare immunisation record.
Families are encouraged to immunise their children against contagious diseases
  • Vaccination schedules are promoted within the Centre - N.S.W Health immunisation schedules are displayed in the foyer area.
  • Families must notify the Centre as soon as possible that their child has contracted an infectious disease.
  • Staff will inform families of any infectious diseases in either staff or children at the centre as soon as practicable via written notification and/or verbal communication.
  • Children or staff with infectious diseases will be excluded from attendance at the centre as specified in the NHMRC exclusion list and centre policy
  • Specific details of individuals with infectious diseases will not be disclosed.
  • In the case of an infectious disease outbreak,  parents of the children who are not immunised are informed of the disease before attending so they can decide whether to attend
    • If an outbreak of a vaccine preventable disease occurs, staff should inform management if they are not immunised against the disease.

  • Staff are advised that recommendations for immunisation will minimise transmission and risks of contracting the disease.
Recommended immunisations for staff are:
  • Hepatitis A
  • Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)
  • Varicella
  • Adult Diphtheria, Tetanus, acellular Pertussis (adult DTPa)

  • Staff complete an immunisation record stating previous infection or immunisation for the relevant disease.
  • Immunisation is not compulsory for staff however is recommended and discussed at staff meetings, in-service courses and as the need arises.
  • Staff should consult their doctor to discuss any issues relating to their immunisation.
