b. Require that children have all their im-munizations before going to public school
c. Track children known to be at risk for un-derimmunization
d. Lead teams of health care workers to en-force laws related to immunizations

Tracking children known to be at risk for underimmunization is a function of PHNs who work in health departments where immunizations are given and tracked. Reading the Mortality and Mor-bidity Weekly Report, requiring that children have all of their immunizations before attending school, and leading teams of health care workers would not be as effective in increasing immun-ization coverage for this population.
