A new report shows Georgia schools enrolled children who were missing required vaccinations or having no records at all in the 2008-09 school year. Data obtained by the Atlanta Journal Constitution shows across the state, more than 8-thousand kindergartners and 6th graders missed key vaccine doses when audits were done last fall-already a few weeks into the school year. Those vaccines are required under Georgia’s school immunization law. The records show more than 60 schools were not properly immunized.
