Will DC clinics vaccinate nanny who cares for <6 mo. infant?

[Anonymous]

We have a 4 month old and my husband and I are planning to go tonight to one of the clinics. We'd like to bring our nanny too, since she is our daughter's primary caregiver during the week. I know they will vaccinate parents of infants, but does anyone know if they will vaccinate the nannies as well?

They should. They vaccinated the woman in front of me in line at Hardy last week who was a caregiver to a child under 6 mos.

I'm not sure they ask that many questions. As I recall, you just fill out a form explaining which high-risk group you're in; "taking care of a child under 6 months" was on that list, but I don't recall needing to explain the relationship with that child.

Yes. They vaccinated my husband and I, as well as our neighbors (both husband and wife), as caregivers of children under 6 mo. Same should apply to nanny.
