Pugh ES’s 100% immunization rate featured in WOW! video
Video highlights partnership between school nurse and principal
Pugh Elementary School has a 100 percent immunization rate thanks to the persistence of school nurse Jean Kanik and the support of Principal Claudia Romano. Kanik starts with the Pre-K students, reaching out to parents by phone and letter to encourage them to have their children inoculated early. Kanik provides support and awareness regarding state law which requires campuses to review student immunization records every 30 days. You can see more of their best practices in the video below.
