2003 National Immunization Survey
Summary:
View help for Summary
This survey is part of a series that was designed to track
the rates of proper vaccination of children in the United States. The
target age range for the children was 19 to 35 months. Respondents were
queried on the number of children present in the household between the
ages of 12 months and 3 years, their dates of birth, their sex, whether
there were vaccination records for the children, whether those records
were accessible, whether the respondent was the adult in the household
most knowledgeable about the vaccinations, and whether the respondent
accompanied the children to more than 50 percent of their vaccinations.
For each child in the household, information was gathered on whether
each child had received all of the recommended vaccinations, and the
number of the diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis shots (DTP or DT), polio
vaccinations, measles vaccinations, meningitis or Haemophilus Influenzae
type B (HIB) shots, varicella (chicken pox) vaccinations, rotavirus
shots, pneumococcal shots, and hepatitis B (Hep B) shots each child had
received. Further information was obtained about additional vaccinations
the child may have received to combat diseases such as tuberculosis,
typhoid, yellow fever, and malaria, the child's health care providers,
the number of doctors that had performed vaccinations, and whether the
measles vaccination was strictly for measles or for the
measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) combination. Additional information was
gathered regarding whether the child received benefits from the
nutrition and health program for Woman, Infants, and Children (WIC),
what age the child began receiving WIC benefits, whether the child's
vaccination records were checked at the WIC certification visit, and
whether these benefits had ever been interrupted for six months or more.
Once parental consent was obtained, health care providers were queried
on the vaccination records for each child whose vaccination information
was gathered from parents. Health care providers were queried on the
type and the level of detail of the vaccination records for each child,
the dates and types of vaccinations administered, the date of each
child's first visit to that provider regardless of reason, the date of
the child's most recent visit to that provider regardless of reason, and
the type of care the provider gave to the child. Health care provider
respondents were asked to describe their facility, to give their
position within the facility, the child's date of birth, according to
their records, and whether the child was known by another last name, and
to provide a list of any additional health care providers for that
child. Demographic information provided by the parents or guardians
includes the number of people living in the household, the number of
people over and under 18 in the household, respectively, the number of
children under the age of 12 months, ethnicity of respondent and child,
marital status of the respondent, respondent's relationship to the
child, respondent's educational level or that of the child's mother, the
date of birth of the child's mother, household income, and whether the
child was living at the same address as when he or she was born.
