[MaineSchoolNurse] Annual School Immunization Report

[Poland, Emily]

I thought I would share the recent release of the Maine CDC
2022-2023 Maine School Immunization Assessment<https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/infectious-disease/immunization/publications/2023/2022-2023%20Maine%20School%20Immunization%20Assessment%20Report.pdf> Report that was recently published. Feel free to share this with your local administration.

State-mandated vaccination requirements for school entry protect children and communities against vaccine preventable diseases. Each school year, federally funded immunization programs collect and report kindergarten vaccination data to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Federally funded immunization programs in all 50 states partner with their Department of Education (DOE) to assess vaccination coverage and exemption status of children enrolled in public and private kindergartens. In addition to kindergartens, the Maine Immunization Program (MIP) also collects coverage and exemption data for both seventh grade students and twelfth grade students. This information is collected through an annual immunization assessment survey of all State of Maine elementary, middle, and high schools. You can read the full report here: https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/mecdc/infectious-disease/immunization/publications/2023/2022-2023%20Maine%20School%20Immunization%20Assessment%20Report.pdf
