As Pa. measles cases persist, back-to-school vaccine efforts ramp up
As measles cases persist in Pennsylvania, officials released a new school immunization dashboard allowing public viewing of vaccination rates by individual school. The data shows that while overall coverage was high last year, some schools fall significantly below the 95% rate required for strong community immunity. State health authorities hope this transparency helps pinpoint gaps and barriers to boost vaccination efforts.
