National, state, and urban area vaccination coverage levels among children aged 19-35 months--United States, January-December 1995.
The National Immunization Survey (NIS) is an ongoing survey that provides national estimates of vaccination coverage among children aged 19-35 months based on data for the most recent 12 months for each of the 50 states and for 28 selected urban areas, including the District of Columbia. CDC implemented NIS in April 1994 to monitor current vaccination coverage levels as one element of the five-part Childhood Immunization Initiative (CII) (Table 1), a national strategy to attain high vaccination coverage among children during the first 2 years of life. This report presents NIS findings for 1995, which indicate that 1995 CII interim national coverage goals were achieved or exceeded for all routinely recommended childhood vaccines.
