This article describes some strategies to help reduce the immunization barriers of parental knowledge deficits and transportation costs through a parent education and incentive program. A record review of 471 children in 22 licensed Norfolk, Virginia, day-care centers revealed that 141 (29.9%) had inadequate age-appropriate immunizations. Educational programs included depictions of preventable communicable diseases and their consequences. Upon completion of appropriate immunizations, parents received transportation vouchers and gifts. By June 2000, 255 parents, day-care administrators, teachers, and staff had participated in educational programs and seven day-care centers earned certificate awards for improved immunization rates among enrollees. Four centers had 100% age-appropriate immunization rate, and three had a rate of 92% to 95%. |
