  • Massachusetts Kindergarten Immunization Survey Results 2017-2018
    Massachusetts Kindergarten Immunization Survey Results 2017-2018 The Massachusetts Department of Public Health Immunization Program is pleased to make available the 2017-2018 Massachusetts kindergarten immunization survey results by school. Please be aware that the data are limited in a number of ways, including those listed below. • All data are self-reported by schools and discrepancies may exist. The Immunization Program continues to work with schools to resolve discrepancies and update immunization data, when possible. • Data release standards do not allow for data to be shared for schools with fewer than 30 reported kindergarteners. Schools that submitted a survey and reported fewer than 30 kindergarteners are indicated (†). • Not all schools return their survey. Schools without data due to non-response are indicated (*). • Some schools returned surveys, however those surveys contained discrepancies leading to mathematically impossible rates. When possible, we work with schools to resolve data discrepancies. Schools where rates were withheld due to unresolved discrepancies are indicated (¶). • Data are collected in the fall, but immunization data are often updated throughout the year and rates (during the same school year) may be higher than reported due to additional children receiving immunizations or bringing records to school. Also, the student body is dynamic and as students arrive and leave school, the immunization rates are impacted. • This year the kindergarten survey had a hard deadline in mid-December, which may have impacted the ability of some schools to submit their survey. • Children are allowed a medical or religious exemption to one or more vaccines. • Children without the required number of doses of vaccine do not necessarily have an exemption on file.
