(a) Application for admission of a person age 0 to 21 shall be done by the person's legal guardian.
(b) Persons are admitted as inpatients only upon the order of a member of the medical or dental staff with admitting privileges. A physician's order is not necessary in order to schedule and complete an admission screening.
(c) All persons shall be required to complete the admission process with a registered nurse and other nursing personnel, as needed.
(d) Proper immunization is required for each inpatient. The person shall provide a current valid immunization record according to the most current ACIP recommendations. If immunizations are not current, they shall be brought up-to-date during the admission with consent of the legal guardian providing no contraindications to immunization exist.

The skin test shall be repeated at time of admission if PPD not used or if test was self read, unless a positive reaction occurred. A person may be admitted without a PPD if Center staff determine that the admission is an emergency, but the person shall be screened for signs and symptoms of tuberculosis at time of admission and a PPD shall be administered at that time.
