Michigan takes a shot at immunization registry.
September 30, 1997, is the target date to have all of Michigan activated under the new Michigan Childhood Immunization Registry. In 1994, when the Centers for Disease Control reported Michigan had the lowest immunization rates for children under two years of age, the state took steps to increase the percentage of children receiving immunizations. During the past three years, community efforts have raised immunizations rates from 61 percent in 1994 to 74 percent in 1997. Furthermore, legislation was passed in 1996 allowing Michigan to establish a state-wide immunization registry.
