We investigated school factors associated with successful implementation of a seventh grade vaccination requirement.
The proportion of students vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine and measles containing vaccine was determined from records of schools in San Diego County, California. A school survey identified compliance strategies. Analysis identified factors associated with coverage.
In October 1999, 67.2% of 38,875 students had received the required vaccine doses. Of 315 schools, coverage was less than 40% in 60 schools and exceeded 80% in 111 schools. Factors associated with high coverage included private schools, early and frequent notice to parents, and, for public schools, higher overall socioeconomic status of students.
In preparation for a middle school vaccination requirement, early and frequent notification of parents improves coverage. Schools with a high percentage of low socioeconomic status students may require extra resources to support implementation.
我们调查了与成功实施七年级疫苗接种要求相关的学校因素。
根据加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥县学校的记录，确定接种乙肝疫苗和含麻疹疫苗的学生比例。一项学校调查确定了合规策略。分析确定了与疫苗接种率相关的因素。
1999年10月，38875名学生中有67.2%接种了所需剂量的疫苗。在315所学校中，60所学校的接种率低于40%，111所学校的接种率超过80%。与高接种率相关的因素包括私立学校、提前且频繁地通知家长，对于公立学校而言，还包括学生总体社会经济地位较高。
在为中学疫苗接种要求做准备时，提前且频繁地通知家长会提高接种率。社会经济地位较低学生比例较高的学校可能需要额外资源来支持实施工作。
