Only half receive all recommended doses by their second birthday. \u0022If the child doesn\u0027t receive the doses on time or if some of them are given at the wrong time the vaccination doesn\u0027t have the coverage that it\u0027s supposed to,\u0022 Pinar Keskinocak, Ph.D., an associate professor at Georgia Tech\u0027s H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering in Atlanta, told Ivanhoe. Using computer science and mathematical models, Dr. Keskinocak, her colleagues, and the CDC have created a new, interactive childhood immunization schedule. \u0022What we offer is a computer program that in some sense gives the best possible scenario given that a child is falling behind the recommended schedule,\u0022 Faram Engineer, a Ph.D. student at the Stewart School of ISyE told Ivanhoe.
