Daycares......?

Question

Why Is It Important For Children to Get tested and Maked Sure Not To Have Any Sickness WHen Starting School or Daycare?

-Lot of Info Please!

Answer 1

They don't want the flu to circulate.

Answer 2

They do not at all want to spread it to other children.  Even if the other children are vaccinated, they may still catch it.  It is also required in the future and for jobs and traveling.  

Vaccines also work best when applied at certain ages, usually young ages.  For example the chicken pox vaccine is best to start at, I believe, 9 months to 7 years.

Overall, its just best to get vaccines and keep the kids away from viruses.

Answer 3

I would think that would be obvious - so as not to spread the disease or illness around - isolating the ill child stops the spread.  Otherwise, it would run rampant and every child would have it and you'd have to close the place down.

Answer 4

In case they pass it on to other children...my daughter currently in nursery (2 years old) and they have very strict rule re illnesses, i.e. if they have a sickness bug they cannot go back for 48 hours after they are better. It is to protect the interests of other children
