Summary
2025-26 data from more than 90% of Pennsylvania schools is now publicly searchable at the individual-school level for the first time through a new state vaccination dashboard.
The tool was built by the Health and Education departments to give parents school-specific rates and exemption data, counter misinformation and carry out Gov. Josh Shapiro's 2025-02 vaccine access order.
More than half of reporting schools met the 95% MMR threshold in kindergarten, while over 200 schools posted 100%; the shares above 95% rose to more than 74% in seventh grade and 83% in 12th grade.
Pennsylvania plans more upgrades later this year, including district-level search, while state agencies work with non-reporting schools and providers to raise reporting and routine immunization access statewide.
