National Immunization Survey Results

National Immunization Survey Places
New Jersey near Bottom for Timely Immunizations

Recently released National Immunization Survey (NIS) data reveal that New Jersey is doing poorer than most states nationwide in delivering timely immunizations. The National Immunization Survey is the only population-based, provider-verified survey to provide national, state, and local area estimates of vaccination coverage among children aged 19-35 months. New Jersey’s Q3 2007-Q2 2008 data rank the State seventh from bottom, and below the national average of 77.2, with only 70.5% of children fully immunized for the 4:3:1:3:3:1 series. These data represent a 10% drop compared to Q1-Q4 2007 when 80.5% of children statewide were fully immunized.
