PLEASE DESCRIBE THE ORGANIZATION AND IT'S PURPOSE (cont.):
barriers to immunizations, expanding efforts to assess
immunization coverage levels, and conducting a variety of
educational and outreach activities. The 1993 - 94 Retrospective
Kindergarten Immunization Survey showed that only 52.3% of
Weld County children were fully immunized by age two. (In
order to be considered fully immunized, a child needs to
have had 3-4 DTP,(diptheria, tetanus, pertussis) immunizations,
3 polio immunizations, 1 MMR.)(measles, mumps, rubella) imm-
unization, 3-4 Hib (Haemophilus influenzae b - a major cause
of meningitis) immunizations, and 3 Hepaticis B immunizations
by age two.) It is especially important that children under
two be fully immunized because they are at greatest risk of
getting the diseases the immunizations prevent. In addition,
they are likely to have serious medical complications from
the diseases. For example, 70% of pertussis (whooping cough)
deaths occur in children under one year of age. There were
more pertussis cases reported in the United States during 1993
than at any time since 1967.
ORGANIZATION GOALS (cont.):
In addition, 90% of Weld County two -year -olds will be fully
immunized against Hepatiti s B by 1998. (Hepatitis B immun-
izations have only recently been routinely recommended for
children under two.) These goals are consisterft with the
national goals for immunization coverage recommended by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
PRESENT SOURCE OF INCOME (cont.):
funds from the Colorado Department of Public Health
and Environment (CDPHE). The CDPHE also provided Immunization
Program Incentive Funds in December, 1994. (These funds were
provided on a one time only basis.) In addition, donations

flyers and 200 display boar! pads will be needed during each
quarter after March. The firers and display board pads will
list clinics and provide immunization messages.
It's important that the immunization message and upcoming clinics
continue to be advertised to Weld County parents throughtout the
year, because many parents continue to lack information about
the importance of timely immunizations for children under two.
During 1991, a survey was conducted by the Gallup Organization,
Inc. for the American Academy of Pediatrics. The purpose of
the survey was to determine the extent to which adults responsible
for the care of younger children are aware of the need for
immunization against childhood diseases. The survey found
that the median age at which parents believe all Hib immunizations
should be completed is three, but 30% could not answer the
question. (The Hib series should be completed by age two.)
The servey also found that 479 of adults don't know how many
times a child should be immunized against measles. (A child should
be immunized twice against measles.) Continued education of
Weld County parents is necessary to meet IAP organizational goals.

children born on, or after, July 1, 1994. The system
tracks children receiving immunizations at the offices of Weld
County pediatricians, family physicians, Sunrise Community Health
Center, Salud Family Health Center, and the Weld County Health
Department. Each health care provider participating in the
tracking system receives a monthly feed back report. The reports
list children up-to-date in immunizations, 30 days late in
immunizations, etc. Parents can then be reminded by mail
and/or phone to have their children immunized. At this time,
however, the majority of Weld County parents aren't receiving

reminders when their children are due for immunizations.
Many health care providers have neither the staff nor the
funding to provide this service. The Standards for Pediatric
Immunization Practices recommends that health care providers
operate an immunization tracking system which includes reminders
to parents when immunizations are due. (The St^.nd?.rrc for
Pediatric Immunization Practices lists standards for pediatric
immunization practices and is endorsed by the American Academy
of Pediatrics Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and the
American Academy of Family Physicians.) Parents are often
confused about which immunizations are due and at what age.
They are often willing to have their children immunized, but
need to be reminded when immunizations are due.
Greeley Area Foundation funding is requested for postage and
printing necessary to send reminders to all Weld County parents
whose children (under two years) are due for immunizations.
Children need to visit a health care provider a minimum of
four times to be fully immunized by age two. There are 2200
children born in Weld County each year, and four post card
reminders (one before each set of immunizations is due) will
be mailed for each child.
