Abstract
It is remarkable that in resource-rich countries such as the United States and Europe, failure still exists to accomplish immunizations that are basic to protecting children’s health. In the current issue of The Journal, Muehleisin et al report a study of “reminder” interventions on the rate of catch-up immunization in underimmunized hospitalized infants, children and adolescents in Basel, Switzerland. Using a prospective intervention-control study design, parents (and patients when appropriate) were informed of lagging vaccinations during hospitalization and encouraged to receive catch-up doses soon after discharge.
