Native American Special Population Assessment

For 2010, the Immunization Branch has begun sampling California schools that have the highest number of Native American children in order to assess immunization coverage. Selected schools received materials and instructions to send copies of kindergarten and fourth-grade CSIRs (Blue Cards) to the Branch by March 1.  Immunization Coordinators will receive notification of delinquent school submissions and are encouraged to assist in schools in their jurisdiction to submit CSIRs. 

Kindergarten and Child Care Assessment Reports

Stay tuned! Kindergarten and Child Care Assessment Reports will be posted on the Immunization Branch website shortly. The Branch extends its appreciation to Immunization Coordinators and field staff for their efforts in collecting kindergarten and child care reports during an extraordinarily busy flu season.   

Selective Review and KRS

The Immunization Branch School Assessments team will be mailing materials to Immunization Coordinators for the annual Kindergarten Selective Review, Child Care Selective Review, and Kindergarten Retrospective Survey (KRS).  The Immunization Branch will randomly select kindergarten schools for 2010. Local health departments will be responsible for selecting child care centers. For additional information, contact Teresa.Lee2@cdph.ca.gov or Madina.Sharifi@cdph.ca.gov.
