About the Data:<\/h3>\n
\n\t

This\u00a0Student Immunization Status (SIS) Survey dashboard displays the\u00a0immunization exemption rates\u00a0for kindergarten and 7th grade students across the Commonwealth.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0exemption rates listed include reporting from public schools reported to the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) by the Virginia Department of Education (DOE) and private schools reported to VDH by the Virginia Council for Private Education (VCPE). Some non-VCPE-accredited private schools also report;\u00a0however,\u00a0VDH cannot verify that all private schools are represented in the dataset. Homeschooled students are not included in this dataset.\u00a0\u00a0Exemption\u00a0data reflect students\u2019 immunization status as of the first day of school. VDH does not independently verify data\u00a0submitted\u00a0through\u00a0the SIS.\u00a0\u00a0Immunization\u00a0coverage data is reported\u00a0separately on the\u00a0Immunization\u00a0Dashboard.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Suppression is applied to the underlying student counts. Any rate calculated from a suppressed count is also suppressed. Rates are reported as ranges rather than exact percentages because an exact rate, when combined with known enrollment, could be used to calculate the underlying student count. Rate ranges are designed to protect confidentiality. Each published range must be consistent with at least two possible whole-number student counts based on the school or county\u2019s actual enrollment. Ranges are also reviewed across columns using complementary suppression to ensure that no suppressed value can be derived through back-calculation from surrounding values.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
