Surveillance of vaccination coverage in 5-6- and 13-14-years-old schoolchildren in Geneva.

CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that full coverage in our sample was suboptimal. For children in the second grade, we observed high coverage rates for specific vaccines, yet the rates of MMR vaccination were lower than the level required for a herd immunity. Data collection using vaccination cards allows for regular surveillance of the vaccination coverage of school pupils and can be easily carried out in schools.
