VaxView Vaccination Coverage

Vaccination coverage under a magnifying glass with syring

 

The VaxView websites provide vaccination coverage data for all ages. Monitoring coverage for recommended vaccinations across the country helps CDC assess how well local areas, states, and the nation are protected from vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs).

Coverage By Age Group

ChildVaxView

ChildVaxView
Childhood vaccination coverage data for vaccines routinely recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for children 19 through 35 months old. Data are available for local areas, states, HHS regions, and the nation from the National Immunization Survey-Child (NIS-Child). Sociodemographic data from the NIS-Child are also available.

SchoolVaxView

SchoolVaxView
Childhood vaccination coverage data for children attending kindergarten reported by states and local areas. Data reported are the estimated number of children attending kindergarten who have received vaccinations recommended or required by their state or who have received an exemption to one or more required vaccinations.

TeenVaxView

TeenVaxView
Adolescent vaccination coverage for vaccines routinely recommended by the ACIP for preteens and teens. Data are available for local areas, states, HHS regions, and the nation from the National Immunization Survey-Teen (NIS-Teen). Sociodemographic data from the NIS-Teen are also available.

AdultVaxView

AdultVaxView
Vaccination coverage data for adults 18 years and older. Data are available for local areas, states, HHS regions, and the nation from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) and the Long-Term Care Minimum Data Set (MDS). Reports using data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and other data sets are also available.

Coverage By Vaccine

COVIDVaxView

COVIDVaxView
Weekly and monthly survey results at the national and state level to monitor COVID-19 vaccination uptake and confidence in vaccination.

FluVaxView

FluVaxView
Flu vaccination data for people 6 months and older as recommended by the ACIP, for people at increased risk for flu such as nursing home residents and pregnant women, and for health care personnel, who could transmit flu to those at increased risk. Data are available for local areas, states, HHS regions, and the nation from the National Immunization Survey-Flu (NIS-Flu), the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), the Long-Term Care Minimum Data Set (MDS), and other data sets.

RSVVaxView

RSVVaxView
Weekly RSV vaccination data for local areas, states, HHS regions, and the nation to monitor RSV vaccination uptake and intent to be vaccinated by select demographics.

Weekly Vaccination Coverage Dashboards

RespVaxView

RespVaxView
Weekly and monthly vaccination data for local areas, states, HHS regions, and the nation from surveys and other sources to monitor respiratory vaccination uptake and confidence in vaccination.

Geographic Information System (GIS) Vaccination Data

GISVaxView

GISVaxView
GISVaxView is the site for mapping geospatial vaccination related data across the lifespan. The purpose of this system is to provide jurisdictions and other partners geospatial data and tools to inform planning, implementation, and evaluation of vaccine activities and outcomes.

Vaccination Coverage: Why is it Important?

Vaccination coverage is the estimated percentage of people who have received specific vaccines. Health departments all over the United States monitor vaccination coverage to understand how well communities are protected from VPDs. Vaccination coverage information is used to identify areas and groups with lower vaccination coverage so public health departments, health care partners, and schools can take action to help improve vaccination coverage and protect everyone from VPDs.

How does CDC track vaccination coverage?

CDC keeps track of the vaccination rates for the vaccines that are recommended by the ACIP. This group of medical and public health experts develops recommendations on the use of vaccines to prevent VPDs that occur in infants, children, adolescents, and adults. CDC uses several surveys to measure the vaccination rates for vaccines recommended for different groups, including:

  • The National Immunization Survey-Child (NIS-Child) for vaccinations given through 35 months
  • School Vaccination Assessment Reports for vaccinations required to enroll in kindergarten
  • The NIS-Teen for vaccinations given to preteens and teens
  • The NIS-Flu for flu vaccinations given to 6 months through 17 years
  • The NIS-Adult COVID Module (NIS-ACM) for COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccinations given to adults 18 years and older
  • The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) for vaccinations given to adults, including flu vaccinations
