National coverage for routinely recommended childhood vaccines has increased substantially since
1993, when the Childhood Immunization Initiative (CII) was instituted. However, since about 11,000 children are born each day in the United
States, development of a fully functional vaccine-delivery system is necessary to ensure all children receive recommended vaccines national
coverage was 96% with three doses of any diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and pertussis vaccine (DTP), 90% with three doses of poliovirus vaccine,
94% with three doses of Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine (Hib), 92% with one dose of measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR), 88% with three
doses of hepatitis B vaccine (Hep B), and 59% with one dose of varicella vaccine.
The embargo for this article ONLY is lifted at 12 PM EST.

This study, conducted in 1998 by the Washington State Department of Health (DOH), is the first to
generate population-based estimates of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Washington. Almost one-quarter (24%) of adult women and 16% of adult
men living in Washington had experienced IPV during their lifetimes. Differences between men and women were even larger for injuries due to IPV:
22% of adult women and 8% of adult men living in Washington had experienced an injury due to IPV. Those who were divorced or separated were
almost three times more likely to experience IPV, and four times more likely to be injured from an IPV incident compared with those who had
never been married. DOH is releasing these findings to highlight the importance of interventions, including school programs, conflict resolution
methods, public education campaigns, and improved identification of IPV.
