Though existing school-based vaccination programs have demonstrated success in improving vaccination rates on an in…

METHODS: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 9 hospital and 6 school employees involved in a network of SBHCs. After common themes were identified, cluster analysis was performed. Finally, quotes were identified within each thematic cl…
