Such a certificate must be retained and monitored for currency by the school or childcare facility while the child continues in attendance and must be made available for inspection during normal business hours by authorized officials of the Department or County Board of Health.(3) A certificate for a child who is in the process of receiving all required vaccines must show a date of expiration, which shall be the date on which the next required immunization is due or the date on which a medical exemption must be reviewed. A new certificate must then be obtained and submitted to the school or childcare facility within thirty days after the expiration date. Children whose parents fail to renew said certificates within the time allotted shall not be permitted to continue in attendance.
(4) If a child transfers to another school or childcare facility, then the certificate of immunization shall be transferred to the new school or childcare facility.
