Im about to explain how important adequate sleep is. Im about to tell parents out there that they should tuck in their children in a decent hour each night. Im about to plead with you on behalf of thousands of teach- ers to make sure your darlings have had eight hours of restful sleep. And Im about to confide in you that I am still attempting to discover the technical skills of getting my night-owoff to sleepyland short of drugging their milk at dinner.

If you dont go to sleep on time, youre going to be tired and grouchy when I have to get you up for school tomorrow. He tried the approach. He said patiently, But Im not tired at night.

The survey, in a nutshell, said Vilnius, tell us that parents know immunizations are important but that parents find our system a little confusing and burdensome. Protecting kids from childhood diseases would be a lot easier if one visit and one shot did the job, but until then ali of us, especially parents, have to make the extra effort to immunize on time." The statewide telephone survey was conducted earlier this summer by the University of Utah Survey Research Center. It was reviewed by the divisions Health Education Evaluation Program. The survey involved interviews with 603 parents It measured imof Utah munization levels and explored what factors influence parents to immunize their children. The survey found that only 57.7 percent of Utahs children are fully immunized by 2 years of age. The survey asked why children had 4F not been immunized. Many parents - 62 percent of them - mistakenly believed their children were already fully immunized. Parents often failed to use the handy immunization card to let them know when the next immunization should occur. Cost of immunizations was not an issue for most parents. The survey also found that parents are most likely to seek information about immunizations from private physicians. This will be a starting point for us, said Vilnius. For example, reminders from doctors seem to be very effective in motivating .parents. Jackie Leavitt, chair of the Every Child By Two Immunization Task Force, said the survey provides a solid foundation for creating a variety of immunization programs to help parents get their children immunized on time. Vilnius agreed. There is no one easy answer, he said. There is no single group that we can easily target for education programs. But this gives us quite a bit of information that will help simplify the delivery of immunizations and make the sys- you and I cant give up.
