A member asked:

Could you tell me what are rules/regulations for vaccinations for foster family?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Medical status: In regards to vaccinations, just like medical care, only the legal medical guardian can sign off on child health care. Hence, you need to establish with your state/county family services who has medical guardianship - you or agency, or the biological parent still.
