- Document any parent refusal for immunizations, as well as anaphylactic reactions. There must be a note indicating the date of the event occurring by the member’s 13th birthday. This will not exclude the member from this measure.
- The below count towards compliance. There must be a note indicating the date of the event occurring by the member’s 13th birthday.
