| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0xl3iS2. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : 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. Methods : 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. Results : 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). Conclusions : Middle school-entry vaccination requirements can rapidly and substantially raise vaccination coverage among students subject to the law. |
