“…A literature review identified several SLV programs held in the United States, with some programs having been conducted over multiple years (Hull & Ambrose, 2011). These programs were organized at either the state or local level (Effler et al, 2010; Hull, 2010; Hull, Frauendienst, Gundersen, Monsen, & Fishbein, 2008; King et al, 2006; Mazyck, 2010; Schmier, Li, King, Nichol, & Mahadevia, 2008). Also, during the 2009–2010 H1N1 pandemic influenza season, SLV clinics were widely held across the United States to vaccinate school-age children, one of the initial target groups for 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccination (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2009; Hull & Ambrose, 2011).…”

This study retrospectively estimated costs for a convenience sample of school-located vaccination (SLV) clinics conducted in Maine during the 2009-2010 influenza season. Surveys were developed to capture the cost of labor including unpaid volunteers as well as supplies and materials used in SLV clinics. Six nurses from different school districts completed a clinic day survey on staff time; four of the six also provided data for materials and supplies. For all clinics, average per-dose labor cost was estimated at $5.95. Average per-dose material cost, excluding vaccine, was $5.76. From the four complete clinic survey responses, total per-dose cost was estimated to be an average of $13.51 (range = $4.91-$32.39). Use of donated materials and uncompensated volunteer staff could substantially reduce per-dose cost. Average per-dose cost could also be lowered by increasing the number of doses administered in a clinic.

“…Schools have been proposed as a potentially viable venue to reach school-age children for vaccinations routinely recommended for children and adolescents, including influenza vaccination (Lindley et al, 2008; Mazyck, 2010). School-located vaccination (SLV) clinics are defined as clinics designed to vaccinate school-age children.…”

“…The 2009 H1N1 season afforded innumerable opportunities to implement mass immunization clinics that were also school based (CDC, 2009a; Jenlink et al, 2010a; Mazyck, 2010). While some clinics were very successful in immunizing multiple students and community members in a short period of time, however, other clinics also required a significant amount of time for planning to include extensive resources for manpower (Mazyck, 2010) and funding (Jenlink et al, 2010a). Nevertheless, many school-based immunization clinics throughout the United States successfully vaccinated hundreds of thousands of children in the fall of 2009 against H1N1 (CDC, 2010a; Jenlink et al, 2010a; Robinson, 2010; University of Michigan, 2010).…”

“…While school-required immunization laws have generally increased compliance and have decreased the occurrence of vaccine-preventable diseases (Omer et al, 2006; Toole & Perry, 2004), immunization compliance remains difficult for adolescents since they rarely visit a health care provider (Grace, 2006; Jenlink, Kuehnert, & Mazyck, 2010a; Schaffner & Bobo, 2008). As such, school nurses often have an important role in immunization efforts with this population (Mazyck, 2010). “As the primary health professional in schools … school nurses are responsible for coordinating school and public health immunization programs” (National Association of School Nurses, 2006).…”

Evaluation of an Intervention Program to Increase Immunization Compliance Among School Children

State immunization laws necessitate compliance for students enrolling in a public or private school system. In support of state laws, school nurses expend hours to achieve immunization compliance with school-age children. For the purpose of creating a more efficient system, researchers implemented an educational and incentive program in local elementary schools to increase tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) booster compliance rates. Students were instructed in regard to their immune systems, immunizations, and where to obtain immunizations. In addition, compliant students were entered into a drawing for an iPod Shuffle or a RipStick. In 2009, the compliance rate expanded from 4% to 57% during a 4-week intervention program. Notably, the Tdap immunization compliance rate in the previous year (2008) was 54%. Researchers concluded that the intervention did not improve compliance rates significantly.

Increases in preventable diseases due to antivaccination beliefs: Implications for schools.

Human history is replete with pandemics caused by virulent diseases that have produced overwhelming suffering and death. Our future will require swift, sensible, and near-universal vaccine response as viruses evolve and thrive. When viruses like COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 emerge and mutate, vaccine researchers must be nimble and responsive to quickly develop effective vaccines. However, averting a preventable disease and consequent pandemic also requires the participation of all members of society, and there remain a considerable number of individuals who refuse to accept vaccination as a safe and effective prophylaxis. This refusal stems from deeply rooted fears and values and is further reinforced by antivaccination propaganda circulating the internet and media. By considering the psychological underpinnings of antivaccination attitudes, vaccination advocates, scientists, and policy makers can adapt and target their vaccination campaigns to appeal to those with doubts and concerns about vaccines. Schools serve an important role in promoting and mandating vaccinations to help prevent disease, and vaccinations are vital in school settings where densely populated classrooms facilitate the propagation of disease. School administrators and school nurses have important roles in establishing vaccination requirements and ensuring compliance, and school psychologists and mental health staff can help address vaccination concerns, doubts, and fears among school staff, parents, and students. It is vital that scientists, health care providers, and school staff work collaboratively to communicate with families and children about vaccination and counter antivaccination narratives with emotionally compelling stories that promote vaccine uptake and prevent disease outbreaks. Impact and ImplicationsThis review examines the resurgence of cases of preventable diseases (i.e., measles, pertussis, influenza, and coronavirus disease ) due to vaccination refusal, thus leading to disease outbreak. The psychological underpinnings of vaccine refusal are explored to better understand the thoughts and feelings of individuals who refuse to vaccinate themselves and/or their children. Schools are challenged with preventing and managing disease outbreaks, and school psychologists, school nurses, and administrators can better address vaccine hesitancy and refusal by understanding the concerns and fears that underlie the reluctance.
