The status shall be determined in accordance with the immunization recommendations adopted by the Iowa department of public health under section 139.9, including the exemption provisions in section 139.9, subsection 4. If the department determines a child is not in compliance with the immunization recommendations, the department shall refer the child's parent or guardian to a local public health agency for immunization services for the child and other members of the child's family.
2. The department of human services shall cooperate with the Iowa department of public health to establish an interagency agreement allowing the sharing of pertinent client data, as permitted under federal law and regulation, for the purposes of determining immunization rates of recipients of assistance, evaluating family investment program efforts to encourage immunizations, and developing strategies to further encourage immunization of recipients of assistance.
