Protecting Bryan Families

A Data Guide for Vaccines in Bryan County

The Current Landscape

Bryan County faces a clear administrative crisis. While toddler immunization rates are in line with state averages—with 87.4% receiving their MMR—school entry compliance has collapsed to 77.1%.

This is not primarily a story of vaccine hesitancy; the Religious Exemption rate is a moderate 4.6%. The real issue is that nearly 1 in 5 children (18.2%) are listed as "Not Up-To-Date." This massive gap suggests that the system is failing to capture data or complete final boosters for students entering kindergarten.

Note on the data: For specific MMR and TDaP vaccination rates: All vaccine administration records and demographic data for children born between February 01, 2022 and May 31, 2024 were obtained from the Georgia Registry of Immunization Transactions and Services (GRITS). Data cleaning removed records if they contained no childhood vaccines, were out-of-state, duplicated, created for testing, or created as a placeholder at birth, or if a child died, resulting in 286,826 records. Each record was evaluated and if all doses of a vaccine were correctly administered by 36 months, the child was considered up-to-date on (or covered by) that vaccine.
