Correspondence, press releases, steering committee minutes, reports, data sheets, and related materials documenting Minnesota's immunization initiative program, part of a national initiative announced by the U.S. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) in April 1977. The initiative, scheduled to run for 30 months, was precipitated by decreasing childhood immunization levels against poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough, and the increasing threat of serious disease outbreaks. It sought to raise immunization levels to a minimum of 90% and ensure a system whereby these levels would be maintained.

The primary aim of the policy was to eliminate the nation's dependence on an oft-con...
