Quarterly Immunization Table

To track progress toward achieving the goals of the Childhood Immunization Initiative (CII), CDC publishes quarterly a tabular summary (Table_1)of the number of cases of nationally notifiable diseases preventable by routine childhood vaccination reported during the previous quarter and year-to-date (provisional data). In addition, the table compares provisional data with final data for the previous year and highlights the number of reported cases among children aged less than 5 years, who are the primary focus of CII. Data in the table are reported through the National Electronic Telecommunications System for Surveillance (NETSS).

*  Data for 1996 are final. Data for 1997 are provisional.
+  For 1996 and 1997, age data were available for >=96% of cases.
&  Invasive disease; H. influenzae serotype is not routinely reported to the National Notifiable
   Diseases Surveillance System. Of 125 cases among children aged <5 years, serotype was
   reported for 64 cases, and of those, 25 were type b, the only serotype of H. influenzae
   preventable by vaccination.
@  Because most hepatitis B virus infections among infants and children aged <5 years are
   asymptomatic (although likely to become chronic), acute disease surveillance does not
   reflect the incidence of this problem in this age group or the effectiveness of hepatitis B vac-
   cination in infants.
** Five cases with onset in 1996 have been confirmed; one case with onset in 1997 is under
   investigation.
