Vaccination coverage drops in U.S. schools, raising concerns of outbreaks

Research highlights the decline in national coverage of state-required vaccines among kindergarten students during the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 school years. Despite a low exemption rate, vaccination coverage decreased further in the latter year, indicating ongoing COVID-19 disruptions and emphasizing the need for increased follow-up with under-vaccinated students to protect against vaccine-preventable diseases.
