Vaccination Coverage by Age 24 Months Among Children Born During 2018-2019 - National Immunization Survey-Child, United States, 2019-2021
This report describes vaccination coverage by age 24 months using data from the National Immunization Survey-Child (NIS-Child).† Compared with coverage among children born during 2016-2017, coverage among children born during 2018-2019 increased for a majority of recommended vaccines. Coverage was >90% for ≥3 doses of poliovirus vaccine (93.4%), ≥3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine (HepB) (92.7%), ≥1 dose of measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR) (91.6%), and ≥1 dose of varicella vaccine (VAR) (91.1%); coverage was lowest for ≥2 doses of hepatitis A vaccine (HepA) (47.3%). Vaccination coverage overall was simi...

Vaccination Coverage by Age 24 Months Among Children Born in 2017 and 2018 - National Immunization Survey-Child, United States, 2018-2020
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2021 Oct 15;70(41):1435-1440. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7041a1.ABSTRACTImmunization is a safe and cost-effective means of preventing illness in young children and interrupting disease transmission within the community.* The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends vaccination of children against 14 diseases during the first 24 months of life (1). CDC uses National Immunization Survey-Child (NIS-Child) data to monitor routine coverage with ACIP-recommended vaccines in the United States at the national, regional, state, territorial, and selected local levels.† CDC assessed vaccin...

Vaccine exposure during pregnancy among privately and publicly insured women in the United States, 2016-2018
CONCLUSION: Maternal vaccination with ACIP-recommended vaccines was suboptimal among privately and Medicaid-insured patients, with lower vaccination coverage among Medicaid-insured pregnancies than their privately insured counterparts. Inadvertent exposure to contraindicated vaccines during pregnancy was rare. This study evaluated only vaccinations reimbursed among insured populations and may have limited generalizability to uninsured populations.PMID:34507857 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2021.08.091

Geographic analyses as a  foundation for evidence-based public health interventions: the example identification and typology of risk clusters for mumps, measles, and rubella
DISCUSSION: Two significant clusters of underimmunization were identified for each of the vaccination rates "at least one MMR vaccination" and "both MMR vaccinations." Significant risk factors for low immunization rates included age structure, socioeconomic variables, population density, medical coverage, and value attitude. The proposed methodology is suitable for describing spatial variations in vaccination behavior based on identified typologies for targeted evidence-based interventions.PMID:33891131 | DOI:10.1007/s00103-021-03318-9
