Data say some states lax on vaccinations.
2003 AUG 20 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- About 75% of U.S. toddlers are getting vaccinated on time but pockets of the country are doing significantly worse, new government data show.
In 2002, just 63% of toddlers in Colorado were getting the protective shots on time. That was the worst performance in the nation. Massachusetts was doing the best job, immunizing 86% of toddlers on time.
Because vaccination coverage varies so widely by state, that means tens of thousands of children every year are left unprotected, said Dr. Walter Orenstein of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"If we let down our guard ... vaccine-preventable diseases will return," he warned. He said it's not clear why some states do much better than others.
