Responsible Entities Tools for School Immunizations
Local Health Departments (LHD) that provide immunization services have many responsibilities. One responsibility includes childcare facility and Head Start center assessments and childcare audits. LHDs must also complete public and private school audits, complete surveys to look back on how well their program has been working (retrospective surveys), and complete surveys to confirm that their data is accurate (validation surveys). Please complete and report the activities listed below per the DSHS Immunization Contractors Guide for Local Health Departments and Population Assessment Manual.
