The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended childhood immunization schedule is designed to protect infants and children early in life, when they are most vulnerable and before they are exposed to potentially life-threatening diseases. Children between birth and 6 years of age have 14 recommended immunizations for diseases such as Chicken Pox, Diphtheria, Haemophilus, Hepatitis A/B, and Rotovirus. Despite the progress made in increasing vaccination rates among all children between the ages of 19 and 35 months since 2009, disparities remain, particularly for those below the poverty level. Reasons for not immunizing children vary and can be attributed to an inability to get to a pediatrician’s office during normal office hours, lack of insurance, inability to afford copays, or concerns about vaccine safety. On October 17, 2016, the Office of Industry and Corporate Research, the Milken Institute School of Public Health and ICF International will host the 6th Research and Evaluation Forum. This forum will focus on childhood immunization as it brings together a panel of experts in autism, communications, pediatrics, surveillance, and survey research to examine the underlying motivations behind immunizing children, national surveillance activities to track progress, and novel approaches to gather immunization data. This panel will discuss key questions such as: 
<UL>
<LI>What influences the public’s perceptions of vaccination?</LI>
<LI>How are immunization data collected and analyzed?</LI>
<LI>What are current trends in vaccination?</LI>
<LI>How are other aspects of care influenced by vaccine choices?</LI>
</UL>
