  Premium   Download PDF Now (10 pages)
Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date May 4, 1995
Report No. T-PEMD-95-21
Subject
Summary:

Available studies did not contain enough evidence for GAO to conclude that vaccine cost--a major focus of the Vaccines for Children Program--has been a significant barrier to immunization. It appears that efforts to overcome various other barriers may be equally or more important in improving immunization levels. GAO has discussed its findings with officials at the Centers for Disease Control, and they generally agree that there is not enough evidence to conclude that vaccine cost is a major barrier to immunization.
