摘要:What is already known about this topic? The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that children be vaccinated against 14 potentially serious illnesses before age 24 months. What is added by this report? Among children born in 2015 and 2016, coverage was high and stable for most vaccines. There were sociodemographic disparities in coverage, especially by health insurance status. The proportion of completely unvaccinated children remained small. What are the implications for public health practice? Coverage can be improved with increased access to providers and health insurance, administration of all recommended vaccines during office visits, and more effective patient education about vaccine safety and efficacy. Actionable local level data are a priority for creating targeted interventions to prevent outbreaks of measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases.
