My child uses topical ointments in their early childhood program. The new language of 8VAC20-781-580 A 4 (“A record shall be kept that includes the child’s name, the name of the product, date and time of use, any adverse reactions, and any application errors and action taken”) is too burdensome. Please allow providers to continue to use parent authorized topical ointments without detailed documentation of each application. I am afraid that if further documentation is required, it will result in kids spending less time outdoors (since re-application of sunscreen will be too burdensome). That's not the right outcome for kids.
