Inner-city school nurses can improve student immunization rates by implementing a targeted project that addresses barriers like parental work schedules and access to care. This initiative significantly boosted compliance from 50-60% to 90-100%.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Pediatrics
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • School nurses face significant challenges ensuring student immunization compliance in inner-city districts.
  • Obstacles include parental work schedules, limited access to healthcare, transportation issues, immunization costs, and compliance tracking.
  • Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) legislation also impacts the process.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an innovative immunization project designed to overcome barriers for high-risk students.
  • To provide school nurses with effective tools for increasing immunization compliance in urban school settings.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a district-wide immunization project targeting high-risk students.
  • Systematic approach to address identified barriers to immunization.
