Most Recent Vaccination Coverage Data

The newest data showing national, regional, and state vaccination coverage rates for children 19-35 months old is available in the MMWR and ChildVaxView.

The NIS is a large, on-going survey of immunization coverage among U.S. pre-school children (19 through 35 months old).

The tables, figures, and related articles in the table below, describe vaccination coverage at the U.S. national level and by state and immunization action plan (IAP) areas using results from the National Immunization Survey (NIS).

*The statistical methodology for estimating vaccination coverage rates for NIS data was changed in 1998. The new methodology facilitates valid statistical analyses accounts for the survey's complex sampling design. Small differences exist between vaccination coverage estimates appearing in MMWRs published before 1998 and estimates published on this website. More information on methodologies...

All estimates published on this website are calculated using this new methodology.

The National Immunization Survey (NIS) has been conducted annually since 1994 by the National Immunization Program and the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The NIS is used to obtain national, state, and selected urban area estimates of vaccination coverage rates for U.S. children between the ages of 19 and 35 months. The NIS is a random digit dialing telephone survey of households with age-eligible children followed by a mail survey of the children's vaccination providers to validate immunization information.
