Increasing immunization coverage

In 1977, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a statement calling for universal immunization of all children for whom vaccines are not contraindicated. In 1995, the policy statement \"Implementation of the Immunization Policy\" was published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, followed in 2003 with publication of the first version of this statement, \"Increasing Immunization Coverage.\" Since 2003, there have continued to be improvements in immunization coverage, with progress toward meeting the goals set forth in Healthy People 2010.
