The immunization levels which I described at the beginning of my statement are a direct result of these appropriations and the effort by HEW and the thousands of volunteers who have worked on this program across the country. State legislative activity has been an important factor in the battle against childhood diseases. Since April 1977. five States have enacted laws requiring every child to be immunized as a condition of school entry. Twentyfive other States have strengthened their immigration laws. Today all 50 States have school immunization statutes designed to insure that youngsters are protected against childhood diseases. Childhood immunization. however. is not a problem that remains solved.
