Indicator 6: On-time Immunization

Thumbs maybeimage
Goal: All children will be healthy and start school ready to learn.
Rationale: On-time immunization is an important element in developing healthy children who can attend school every day, ready to learn.
About this indicator: The percentage of Minnesota children ages 19-35 months who have received the 4:3:1:3:3:1-S vaccination series was 76.9 percent in 2009. Because of sampling error, year-to-year changes are not statistically significant. The 2009 margin of error was 5.5 percent.
The 4:3:1:3:3:1-S standard includes four or more doses of diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis vaccine, one or more dose of measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, three or more doses of haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine, plus two or more or three or more Hib vaccine depending on brand type (primary series only), 3 or more doses of HepB, and one or more doses of varicella vaccine.
In 2008, the slightly different 4:3:1:3:3:1 standard was used. The use of the 4:3:1:3:3:1-S standard in 2009 is based on the Hib vaccine shortage, the difference in types of Hib vaccines used by the states, and the required suspension of the booster dose.
