The N.A.S.N. Executive Committee carefully reviewed the materials you provided and recognize the value of this program for students and their schools. The automatic printout of students’ immunization status will promote greater accuracy of records and avoid duplication of immunizations – thus enabling the school nurse to focus on other important health-related activities. We wish you much success in this significant health care initiative. Sincerely, Jane Tustin, R.N., B.S.N., M.S.N., C.S.N. President School Nurses Caring for America’s Children
