Initiatives are under way to increase access to primary care through reform of the national health care system and to reduce financial barriers to immunization through a broadened federal vaccine purchase program. These efforts will not, however, lead to higher immunization rates unless there is leadership for action on immunization, accountability and responsibility for providing immunizations, support for improved provider practices, and effective communication with families and the community.

From page 69... ...
As the nation debates health care reform, the promise for preventing illness with vaccines contrasted with the poor immunization rates of preschool children offers an important lesson about the provision of preventive health services. As effective as preventive services such as immunizations are when they are administered, simply making them available through private providers and public health clinics does not guarantee that these services will be used or received by all who need them.
