Public Health and medical officials are saying increased vaccination rates are good news for our state.  In recently released data from 2015, 86.7 percent of Idaho students were vaccinated. 

That number is up from 85.6 percent in 2014 according to Department of Health and Welfare statistics.  There is still room for improvement as the state's goal for vaccinations is 90 percent.
