Vaccination coverage among children enrolled in Head Start programs, licensed child care facilities, and entering school -- United States, 2000-2001 school year
Article Abstract:
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is developing a new system for reporting vaccination coverage of the nation's schoolchildren. In 2000-2001, about 40% of US states and cities did not report this data. Hopefully, the new system will make it easier for the federally funded immunization programs to report this data.
