We are very pleased that our article stimulated Dr. Overend and his associates to review their immunization activities. Their vaccine-specific levels appear to be higher than those we reported. However, the differences in study design make a direct comparison impossible. Our study was designed to evaluate preschool immunization levels exclusively. The selection of 2-year-old children allows for little delay in the performance of the required vaccinations. Consequently, lower overall and vaccine-specific levels were obtained than would be the case had older children been used.
