This study assessed the effectiveness of a middle school vaccination requirement for raising second-dose measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and hepatitis B vaccine coverage among adolescents.
Random-digit-dialed telephone surveys were conducted before (1998) and after (1999) the implementation of a vaccination requirement for entry into the seventh grade in San Diego, Calif.
Vaccination coverage was higher among children subject to the vaccination requirement (seventh-grade students; 60%) than among fifth- and sixth-grade students 1 year before the requirement (13%, P <.001), and 8th- through 12th-grade students not subject to the requirement (27%, P <.0001).
Middle school-entry vaccination requirements can rapidly and substantially raise vaccination coverage among students subject to the law.
本研究评估了中学疫苗接种要求对提高青少年第二剂麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹疫苗以及乙型肝炎疫苗接种覆盖率的有效性。
在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥实施七年级入学疫苗接种要求之前(1998年)和之后(1999年)进行了随机数字拨号电话调查。
受疫苗接种要求约束的儿童(七年级学生;60%)的疫苗接种覆盖率高于该要求实施前一年的五、六年级学生(13%,P<.001),以及不受该要求约束的八至十二年级学生(27%,P<.0001)。
中学入学疫苗接种要求可迅速且大幅提高受该法律约束学生的疫苗接种覆盖率。
