Comments

This is a composite measure; it is referred to as measure 14-24a in Healthy People 2010 documentation.

The vaccines included in this measure are based on the corresponding Healthy People 2010. objective. These include at least 4 doses of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine; at least 3 doses of polio vaccine; at least 1 dose of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine; at least 3 doses of H. influenzae type B vaccine; and at least 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine. Between 1998 and 2005, the following vaccines were added to the list of recommended vaccines for children up to 35 months of age but not added to this measure: pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) added in 2001 and influenza vaccine added in 2004. Varicella vaccine and vaccines added after 1998 to the recommended schedule for children up to 35 months of age are not included in this measure.

Comments

Statistical adjustments are made to minimize bias due to (1) lower coverage among children living in households without telephones, (2) discrepancies between vaccinations reported by household compared with immunization providers, and (3) differences in race/ethnic population distribution in the sample compared with race/ethnic population distribution at birth.

This baseline measure tracks the number of children ages 19-35 months receiving 4 or more doses of the combination of diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis antigens (DTaP) as well as those children who received the combination of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis antigens (DTP).
