By Lisa Rapaport (Reuters Health) - Children with parents in the military may have lower vaccination rates than other kids, according to a large U.S. survey. "Military children did not have documentation of full vaccination status as frequently as non-military," Dr. Angela Dunn, an epidemiologist for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said by email. "We don't know if it's the result of the information that providers had access to or the actual vaccination status." Dunn and colleagues used data from the National Immunization Survey (NIS), an annual phone interview that asks parents about their kids' vaccinations and then asks them to provide contact information for their pediatrician to verify which shots were administered. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
