With falling vaccine rates, how safe is your child’s school?

Seventh-grade students

School immunization data for the start of the 2013-14 year shows 54 of Salt Lake County's 235 public elementary and intermediate schools fell short of the 95 percent vaccination rate, or “herd immunity” threshold, which experts say prevents measles and whooping cough from spreading. An anti-vaccine movement is driving more families to seek exemptions from Utah’s immunization requirements.

Editor's Note: These data are a snapshot reflecting immunization rates for entering kindergarten and seventh-grade students.
