      In a mathematical model for vaccination programs for common childhood diseases, the population is divided into compartments containing susceptible, infected, and immune individuals, taking into account the age structure. An equilibrium analysis is performed on the resulting partial differential equations to determine the vaccination program that just eliminates the disease. A particular new feature is the vaccination strategy that vaccinates given proportions of people at ``n'' fixed ages. Some numerical results are analyzed to see what these vaccination coverages mean for certain childhood diseases.
