section of the regions
already surveyed -the
Texas Department of
Health’s regional
immunization manager
visits the school. The
superintendent is apprised
of the situation and
remedial action
recommended.
Recommendations may
include a record system
review, periodic updating
of immunizations, or
special clinics.
Generally, it has been
found that school districts
with school nurse staffs
are in a little bit better

compliance than those
without nursing staffs.
The survey is
indicating that licensed
day care facilities are in
the mid-80 percent range
for compliance for age.
Texas is finding that
its problem is much
smaller than on a national
scale because of its strong
