Reducing the number of preventable childhood illnesses is a major national goal

Reducing the number of preventable childhood illnesses is a major national goal in Healthy People 2020. To reach this goal, the school nurse can teach families that:
1. A minor illness with a low-grade fever is a contraindication to receiving an immunization according to Healthy People 2020.
2. Vaccines should be given one at a time for optimum active immunity in the prevention of illness and disease.
3. Premature infants and low-birth-weight infants should receive half doses of vaccines for protection from communicable diseases.
4. It is important to maintain vaccination coverage for recommended vaccines in early childhood and to maintain them through kindergarten.
