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

Abstract

The National Immunization Survey (NIS) is an ongoing survey to provide estimates of vaccination coverage levels among children aged 19-35 months in the United States, all 50 states, and selected urban areas. CDC implemented NIS in April 1994 as one element of the five-part Childhood Immunization Initiative (CII), a national strategy to achieve and maintain high vaccination levels among children during the first 2 years of life. NIS collects quarterly data from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 27 urban areas considered to be at high risk for undervaccination. This report provides NIS findings for July 1994-June 1995, which indicate that coverage levels for diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis vaccine (DPT), Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine (Hib), poliovirus vaccine, and hepatitis B vaccine have met or exceeded the 1995 interim goals of the CII and that coverage for measles-mumps-rubella vaccines (MMR) is within 1 percentage point of the objective.
