Immunizations (at age 2)
|
Immunization rates are an important indication of whether young children are
receiving adequate preventative health care. Immunization is a powerful and cost
effective method of preventing diseases such as Polio, Measles, Diphtheria, Tetanus,
Haemophilus Influenza B, and Whooping Cough. Studies have also shown significant
cost savings: Every dollar invested in measles, mumps and rubella immunizations
saves twenty-one dollars in future health care expenditures.
