Lagging childhood vaccinations lead to call for action
Print
Lessons learned from the ongoing COVID-19 vaccination campaign are helping healthcare providers revive childhood vaccination numbers that plunged during the pandemic.
Pediatric office visits fell 27% during the pandemic, the result of economic hardship and safety measures meant to limit exposure to COVID-19, according a report published by the American Academy of Pediatrics and Georgetown University Center for Children and Families Thursday.
The decline in well-child appointments has led to a lag in childhood vaccinations. Orders for vaccines from Vaccines for Children program were down by more than 11 million doses as of May 2 compared to two years ago. Vaccines for Children is managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and provides free immunizations to families unable to afford vaccines.
