[Vaccination status and implementation of recommendations for vaccination with special reference to measles-mumps-rubella vaccination. 1995 program for school entrance].
Children who took part in the medical examination for elementary school starters and who could present a certificate of vaccination were given a written vaccination recommendation. On the first day of school the recommendation sheets filled out by the family doctor or a paediatrician were collected and analysed anonymously. 2194 of 2965 children received a vaccination recommendation. 1047 sheets could be interpreted. Based on the current recommendation of the STIKO (German official vaccination council) a MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccination was suggested in 1001 cases. Only 53.1% of the proposed vaccinations have been given, despite consultation with the family doctor or paediatrician.
