Childhood Immunization Update:

Kicking off National Immunization Awareness Month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said today that the number of children ages 15 months to three years receiving immunization is at an all-time high of 75 percent nationwide, with some states in the East and Midwest reporting immunization levels as high as 85 percent but others, primarily in the West, vaccinating as few as 63 percent of infants.
