U.S. kindergarten vaccination rate drops again, data show

LA Times  

Kindergarten students wait for their parents to pick them up at Maurice Sendak Elementary School during the height of the pandemic in April 2021 in Los Angeles. Vaccination rates for U.S. kindergartners dropped again last year, and federal officials are starting a new campaign to try to raise them. Thursday’s CDC study was based on public school kindergarten vaccination reports from 49 states and reporting on private schools from 48 states. A second CDC report on Thursday found overall vaccination rates among younger children remained high and stable, although there were declines among kids who were poor and lived in rural areas. CDC officials said it appears doctors and parents made sure younger and more vulnerable children got initial vaccine protection earlier in the pandemic, but there may have been a drop-off in getting booster doses and additional shots as kids got older.
