Children in Childcare/Preschool with Required Immunizations

Measurement Period: 2015

This indicator shows the percentage of enrolled childcare/preschool students age 2+ that have received all required immunizations. Required immunizations include 4 DTP, 3 Polio, 1 MMR, 3 Hep B, and 1 Var or physician documented varicella disease.

The value is based on children entering public, private, or headstart childcare or preschools at the beginning of the school year in the fall. 

Child care and preschool facilities with 10 or more enrollees are included.

Why is this important?

Immunizations protect children from contracting and spreading communicable diseases such as measles, mumps, and whooping cough. These diseases can result in extended school absences, hospitalizations, and death. Childhood illnesses also have a significant financial impact on parents including costly medical bills and loss of work time.
