Official links that would show:

1. the current newborn screening tests required by law in North Carolina AND

2. the current newborn/infant/child immunization schedule required by law in North Carolina.

Thank you for your help!:kiss (Been up nearly all night writing lectures...)

Does the State of NC have a website? If their health dept. is linked through the website, it will probably have the info you need on immunizations, at least.

You might also check with http://www.cdc.gov. their listing of required immunizations is utilized by most states.

Here is an immunization schedule from NC Dept of Health and Human Services:

Not sure about current newborn screenings, but I'll see if Ican find it.

Here is some info on screenings that may help:

I know that hearing screenings are also required. I think the info for them can be found at the link in my previous post if you go to the home page and search.

Good luck!
