Overview of School and Childcare Vaccination Surveys & Reports
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 upon attending a childcare facility and upon entering 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 are reported to the National Immunization Program (NIP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Consequently, school entry surveys should reflect an accurate picture of the immunization levels of children entering school. Nationally the levels reported are high (usually greater than 95%). Similar surveys are conducted in licensed day care centers.
