  Increase Immunization by Reducing Barriers for All Texans

  Vaccines are some of the safest and most cost-effective ways of preventing infectious disease. Texas has made great strides in the last few years in vaccinating young children. In 2010, an estimated 75 percent of Texas children aged 19-35 months had received the recommended series of vaccinations.  We must continue our work protecting children and adults in Texas from preventable and potentially fatal diseases. Texas needs a strong public and private immunization infrastructure for all Texans from infancy until well past 65 years. We must make substantial progress over the next decade to meet national vaccination targets.
