Kindergartners with Required Immunizations
County: Morris
Measurement Period: 2022-2023
This indicator is archived and is no longer being updated. Click to learn more
This indicator shows the percentage of enrolled kindergarten students that have received all required immunizations. Required immunizations include 4+ DTP, 3+ Polio, 2+ MMR, 3+ Hep B, and 1+ Var or physician documented varicella disease.
Why is this important?
Timely 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. The immunization schedule changes frequently. For more information and the most up-to-date immunization schedule, refer to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website on vaccines.
