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.
