Sharp Rees-Stealy Quality Measures for Childhood Immunizations

What was measured?
What percentage of medical group members who are young children received two key vaccinations — chicken pox and measles, mumps and rubella — recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians?

These results are based on patient records from the medical group or HMO.

Why is it important?
Shots, also called vaccines or immunizations, are an easy and proven way to protect your children from serious diseases. Without shots, children can die from diseases like measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox.

Sharp Rees-Stealy Score: 93.31 percent
State Average: 89.83 percent
