IMMUNIZATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immunization Exclusion Day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immunization Exclusion Day for ALL students is Wednesday February 21, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you everyone for your help in getting our students updated with their immunizations before Exclusion Day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary Review Day is January 17th<\/sup> and that is the day I send the initial reports to the Health Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Health Department will then send out letters to those families whose students are not up to date notifying them that they will be excluded from attending school on February 21st<\/sup> if they are not up to date by then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immunization Exclusion Day for ALL students is Wednesday February 21, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the dates to use for running your HLT 414 report<\/strong> to determine which students are not up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assessment date – 1\/17\/24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cutoff date – 12\/31\/23<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exclusion date – 2\/21\/24<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Print a copy of your report so you can use it to make notes on it such as when phone calls were made, mail sent and when students were updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INCOMPLETE Students<\/strong>: Means they are not up to date. Check Alertiis for any new immunizations that you can update. Check that the CIS signature box has been checked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

INSUFFICIENT Students<\/strong>: Always is a “data input error”. The dates are in the wrong order, or the student’s birth date is entered incorrectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION TRAINING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missed Doses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please review the steps to take when scheduled medication doses are missed with designated medication administration trained staff at your schools . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Ensure medication tasks are set up in Synergy as a reminder for staff re: student scheduled medications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Student does not show up at 2pm for their scheduled dose.\n
      \n
    1. Check to make sure they are at school.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Attempt to notify student (call to class or note to student) to come to the health room.\n
        \n
      1. If student is still a no show, (depending on the student and possible disability) staff may need to physically go to the classroom to inform student to go to the health office. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. If student refuses to go to health office for medication administration, school nurse and parent\/guardian should be notified. This contact interaction should be documented in Synergy as a refusal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. If student continuously “no shows” for medication administration, nurse should brainstorm with school team, student, and possibly parent\/guardian on ways to best support student. Ex. – Reminder alarms on student (iPad), is there a reason the student is refusing to come to the health office, does the administration time need to be adjusted (due to class scheduling issues)?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. If a medication a medication error occurs the following must be done:\n
          \n
        1. school nurse notification<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. parent\/guardian notification (document notification in Synergy)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. incident report completed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. * If a student refuses to take their scheduled medication, an incident report does NOT<\/strong> need to be completed. However, medication refusal needs to be documented in Synergy along with parent\/guardian and school nurse notification. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
