Public Provider Immunization Assessments in Indiana
2001 Assessment Results

Conclusions and Recommendations

• Public providers with high immunization coverage levels are congratulated for their efforts to improve immunization rates in Indiana.
   
• Public providers with low immunization coverage levels need to work hard to increase their immunization rates. Regular assessments of immunization practices can be helpful to providers in developing means of improving immunization coverage levels.
   
• Improvements in documentation of vaccinations will lead to more accurate reporting of coverage levels and will help to show more clearly which areas of immunization practices need to be focused on to assist in improving coverage levels across the state.
   
• Implementation and use of reminder and recall systems are essential for improving the single antigen and vaccination series coverage levels among a provider’s active patient population.
   
• Continued efforts need to be made to eliminate the dropout rate between the first and final does of DTaP vaccine.
