Improving Immunization Rates
Immunization, or vaccination rates measure the percent of people who received recommended vaccines. Tracking vaccination rates help to assess how well communities are protected against vaccine preventable diseases. Providers, schools, and community partners can use this information to take action and improve vaccination rates in their community.
The Maine CDC Immunization Program reviews state and national data to assess and improve immunization rates, identify populations at risk, and measure the impact of current initiatives.
