  • Title: Vaccination coverage of 2-year-old children--United States, January-March, 1994.
    Author: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    Journal: MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep; 1995 Mar 03; 44(8):142-3, 149-50. PubMed ID: 7862081.
    Abstract:
    The Childhood Immunization Initiative (CII) was initiated to increase vaccination coverage among 2-year-old children. The 1996 objective is to have at least 90% coverage for four of the five critical vaccines routinely recommended for children (i.e., one dose of measles-mumps-rubella vaccine [MMR] and at least three doses each of diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis vaccine [DTP], oral poliovirus vaccine, and Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine [Hib]), and at least 70% coverage for three doses of hepatitis B vaccine (Hep B) (1). These objectives are an interim step toward the year 2000 goal of at least 90% coverage for the recommended series of vaccinations and are being monitored on an ongoing basis. This report presents national estimates of vaccination coverage among 2-year-old children derived from provisional data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) for the first quarter of 1994 and compares these with the last two quarters of 1993.
