St. Anne Catholic High School principal Amy LoFaso, said her schoolstarted with about 130 students on the list. By last Friday, there were only 15 students not up to date.

"A lot of them did have the immunization, they just didn't have the paperwork in," she explained. "A lot of it was just reminders."
