IID-7.6 Maintain an effective coverage level of 1 dose of varicella vaccine among children by age 19 to 35 months
About the Data: National
Description of the data source, numerator, denominator, survey questions, and other relevant details about the national estimate.
Number of children aged 19 to 35 months receiving at least 1 dose of the varicella antigen
Number of children aged 19 to 35 months
From the 2013 National Immunization Survey Provider-Immunization History Questionnaire:
[NUMERATOR:]
Specify month, day, and year that each vaccine was given, either by the office or another provider, and type of vaccine, as documented in the records.
The National Immunization Survey (NIS) uses a quarterly, random-digit-dialed sample of telephone numbers to reach households with children aged 19–35 months in the 50 states and selected local areas and territories, followed by a mail survey sent to the children's vaccination providers to collect vaccination information. Data are weighted to represent the population of children aged 19–35 months, with adjustments for households with multiple telephone lines and mixed telephone use (landline and cellular), household nonresponse, and exclusion of households without telephone service. Beginning in 2011, surveys include landline and cellular telephone households.
This measure tracks the proportion of children aged 19 to 35 months receiving at least 1 dose of the varicella (chickenpox) vaccine.
