Austin, TX September 8, 2008 -- As summer vacations come to an end, back-to-school time is here for approximately 75.2 million students from nursery school through college, according to 2008 U.S. Census Bureau. However, a 2007 figure from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows asthma is one of the most common causes of school absenteeism in children 5 to 17 years of age - and 12.8 million school days were missed by children 5 to 17 in a single school year due to allergies and asthma.
