Abstract

Pediatricians should be knowledgeable about programs available in their community and support efforts to collaborate with other providers, public health departments and immunization coalitions in their community. Through immunization coalitions and widespread use of an immunization registry, together with participating private providers, case management and home visitation programs can improve immunization rates among the highest risk children.
