Immunization Question on the Immunization Page

Once the question on the Nonfinancial Q and A Navigator has been answered, the Immunization page will be prefilled with the immunization status for each child.

• If the child is up to date with immunizations, the Yes radio button will be selected on the Immunization page. The client will be required to provide verification that the child is immunized
• If the child is NOT up to date with immunizations, the No radio button will be selected on the Immunization page. The client will be required to either have the child immunized and provide verifications, or claim Good Cause

If no is answered to the question on the Nonfinancial Q & A Navigator, the question, “What is the reason the child has not been immunized?” appears on the immunization page when the cursor is placed over the Good cause reason drop-down list.

If the client is claiming Good Cause for not having a child immunized, select one of the three Good Cause reasons: Physician Certified Med Rsn, Potential Health Risk or Religious Belief. Once a reason is selected:

1. click Next to save your data and go to the next page, or
2. click Finish to exit the page and return to the workflow

To enter good cause information for a child that is not immunized:

1. select the child from the Members list on the immunization page, the No button is prepopulated
2. for Good cause reason, select a reason from the drop-down list
3. click Next to save your entries or changes and go to the next page in the workflow, or
4. click Finish to save your entries or changes and to exit the page and the workflow

To update the immunization response:

1. select the child from Members list on the Immunization page that needs to be updated (for example, client brings in proof of immunization)
2. select the Yes radio button in immunized
3. click Next to save your entries or changes and go to the next page in the workflow, or
4. click Finish to save your entries or changes and to exit the page and the workflow

Make sure the appropriate item is selected in the Verification tab to indicate the client has submitted the appropriate verification. See Verifications Checklist (VC-1)-TAFDC
