Scheduling problems lead to missed immunizations

By Anne Harding

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Making sure kids get all their shots has a lot to do with convenience and communication, new research shows.

Children whose parents have difficulty scheduling appointments or who have a tough time communicating with their child's doctor are more likely to be under-immunized, Dr. Melissa Stockwell, assistant professor of clinical pediatrics and population family health, Columbia University Medical Center, and her colleagues found.

Stockwell reported these findings today at the Pediatric Academic Societies' annual meeting in Baltimore.

'Under-immunized' means the children were missing at least one of the shots making up the basic early childhood vaccination series given to children 19 to 35 months old, Stockwell explained in an interview. "Any time kids are under-immunized, it does put them at risk for vaccine-preventable diseases," she said.

...Children whose parents had rescheduled appointments were 3.8 times more likely to have missed an immunization visit, while those whose parents had doubts about the importance of vaccines were 3.3 times more likely to have missed an appointment.

It seems that Mayor Gavin Newsom's office and the City Attorney's office had worked together for four months drafting a plan to streamline the nonprofit sector in San Francisco.

The Mayor’s Office said the absence of any representative from the City Attorney’s Office was because of a scheduling issue.

Mayor Gavin Newsom also began the press conference with thanks and appreciation for Herrera’s efforts.
