The state's wording

The program must keep documentation of immunizations the child has received to date, in accordance with New York State Public Health Law.

This is the text the state (OCFS) attaches to the citation. It is a template, so it can sound harsher or vaguer than the finding behind it.

Worth asking the provider

Is each child's immunization record on file and current?

Reading it on a record

Look at whether the citation is marked open or corrected, how long ago it was cited, and whether the same section shows up on several inspections. One corrected citation is common. The same one on visit after visit is worth a direct question. Our guide to checking a daycare and methodology explain the rest.
