Indicator 6: On-time Immunization

Thumbs maybeimage
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 vaccination series was 74.6 percent in 2008. Because of sampling error, year-to-year changes are not statistically significant. The 2008 margin of error was 5.3 percent.

The 4:3:1:3:3:1 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, and three or more doses of hepatitis B vaccine. The national goal for this series is 90 percent for individual vaccines and 80 percent for the entire series.
