Vaccination Exemption and the Pediatric Health Care Provider

Among children born between 1994 and 2013, vaccinations will prevent approximately 322 million illnesses, 21 million hospitalizations, and 732,000 deaths, resulting in a net savings of $295 billion in direct costs and $1.4 trillion in total societal costs (Whitney, Zhou, Singelton, & Schuchat, 2014). Although U.S. vaccination rates among young children 19 to 35 months of age is more than 90% for four types of vaccines, coverage remains below target for several others (Table 1; Elam-Evans, Yankey, Singleton, & Kolasa, 2014b).
