Results of the National Immunization Survey estimating 2013 vaccination coverage among U.S. children 19-35 months old are now available.
CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) published the report, National, State, and Selected Local Area Vaccination Coverage among Children Aged 19-35 Months --- United States, 2013.

First section:
Nationally, vaccination rates are high, but some communities remain at risk
High rates of vaccine coverage are keeping most vaccine preventable diseases at record low levels. The recent measles outbreaks, however, revealed pockets of unvaccinated people in some communities.

Opportunities for improvement
Increase MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccination rates
In 2013, 17 states had MMR coverage below 90.0%, and these states are at higher risk for measles outbreaks.
Even in states with high MMR coverage, there can be communities with groups of people who are unvaccinated, and the people in these communities are vulnerable to measles as well.
[Image: map of U.S. labeled 2013 MMR (one dose coverage by state). The 17 states with coverage below 90% are: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.]

Finish the toddler vaccine series
Many clinicians and parents are challenged in making sure children get all the recommended vaccine doses during the second year of life.
Make sure that children continue after their first birthday to get all recommended doses.
[Image: map of U.S. labeled 2013 vaccination coverage by state, 4 doses DTap, national coverage = 83%. States with DTaP coverage 90% or greater are Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Utah. States with 80-89% DTaP coverage are Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The remaining states have DTaP coverage below 80%.]

Provide vaccines for all children
In 2013, children living below the poverty line had lower coverage for several vaccines. Fortunately, the Vaccines For Children (VFC) program provides vaccines for children who are uninsured.

Strategies and tools to increase immunization rates
[Photo of woman hold smiling toddler]
Parents can:
Parents can:
- Talk with their child’s doctor if they have any questions
- Ask at every visit to the doctor if their child’s vaccines are up-to-date
- Visit www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents
Clinicians can:
- Assess immunization status at every visit
- Recommend needed vaccines
- Send patient reminders when vaccines are due
- Use electronic medical records and immunization registries to improve care
Section 3:
VFC has been helping prevent disease and saving lives for the last twenty years.

CDC estimates that vaccination of children born between 1994 and 2013 will
Prevent 322 million illnesses—more than the current population of the entire U.S.A.
Help avoid 732,000 deaths—greater than the population of Boston, MA
Save nearly $1.4 trillion in total societal costs*—or $4,473 for each American
*includes $295 billion in direct costs
