National, state, and urban area vaccination coverage levels among children aged 19-35 months - United States, April 1994-March 1995

Article Abstract:

The number of vaccinated children reached its highest level during 1994 and 1995, according to the CDC. This was documented by the National Immunization Survey, which interviewed 33,876 randomly chosen US households. Based on the survey, 75% of US children overall have received at least four doses of DTP vaccine, three doses of polio vaccine and one dose of MMR vaccine. Seventy-two percent received all of those vaccinations plus three doses of Hib vaccine. These rates are the highest ever documented in the US. Vaccination coverage at the state level ranged from 59% to 87%. Vaccination coverage also varied significantly between urban areas in different states. One of the goals of the Healthy People 2000 program is to achieve complete vaccination rates in 90% of eligible children.

National, state, and urban area vaccination coverage levels among children aged 19-35 months - United States, July 1996-June 1997

Article Abstract:

US vaccination rates overall exceed the goals of the Childhood Immunization Initiative but many states and communities lag behind. According to the 1996-1997 National Immunization Survey of 32,652 US households, over 90% of the children had received three or more doses of the DTP vaccine, three or more doses of polio vaccine and three or more doses of the Hib vaccine. Eighty-three percent had received three or more doses of hepatitis B vaccine. However, many states and regions did not meet these goals.

Vaccination coverage by race/ethnicity and poverty level among children aged 19-35 months - United States, 1996

Article Abstract:

The CDC's 1996 National Immunization Survey shows that more work is needed to ensure that children living below the poverty level are completely vaccinated. The survey of the families of 33,305 children found that most of the goals of the Childhood Immunization Initiative (CII) were met in most of the ethnic groups overall. However, this was not true for children living below the poverty level, who were not adequately vaccinated against poliovirus, Hemophilus influenzae type b, or measles.
