In the wake of the recent US measles outbreak, Public Health Seattle King County has published searchable data on student immunization levels covering all K-12 schools in the county. Data fields include vaccination completion rates at each specific school ( color-coded to show rate levels); MMR immunization among kindergarteners; and immunization coverage rates in general among kindergarten and 6th grade students. The sociodemographic correlations to vaccination rates reflect the national trends that have made headlines, are not a surprise to locals. Kudos to the PHSKC team for innovative use of technology in the public interest!
