School
and Childcare Vaccination Surveys
These
state-based surveys are the primary source
of information on vaccination coverage of children
in childcare, kindergarten, and
middle school...
State
laws require that children be immunized if
they attend a childcare facility and when they
enter school.
Immunization records of children entering
school are reviewed each fall.
In addition, states conduct studies
to validate reports from schools. Results from these studies are used to ensure
high vaccination levels in the population of
children enrolled in schools.
Periodic assessments also are conducted
in childcare facilities. A summary of the results
of coverage in children schools, childcare
centers and Head Start programs is reported
to the National Immunization Program (NIP),
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In many states, audits are performed
to validate the school entry survey.
Consequently, school entry surveys should
reflect an accurate picture of the immunization
levels of children entering school. The
levels reported are high (usually greater than
95%) but do not indicate whether the children
received vaccine at the most appropriate time.
Similar surveys are conducted in licensed day
care centers and among children who are enrolled
in the Head Start Program.
