Can he go?

DS2 was puking last night just about every 30 mins from 2 am til 7 am. He didn't go to vacation camp today. He has not thrown up since 7 am. He is not running a fever and no other signs of issues. I can send him tomorrow and not worry he will infect someone right?

No fever and no puke for 24 hours and I would say he's good to go as long as he has the energy.

As long as he's still feeling fine tomorrow, I'd send him.

No fever and no puke for 24 hours and I would say he's good to go as long as he has the energy.

I agree as long as he doesn't develop any other symptoms, eg diarrhea or loose stools. If he did, I would consider him still contagious.

Honestly, he is probably still going to be shedding virus (some of those stomach viruses shed for up to a week to ten days!). But most policies are 24 hours of no symptoms. As long as he feels okay, you can send him.

I agree with everyone else...send him if he feels good and has no other symptoms.

The official policies are generally 24 hours but there is a decent chance he'll still be contagious beyond that. Is norovirus going around your area? If that's what he had it's contagious for 3 days to 2 weeks from onset. You obviously can't keep him out for 2 weeks but it might make sense to skip Friday.

If you do send him make sure he knows to wash his hands REALLY well after using the restroom.
