U.S. Child Vaccination Coverage Survey for 2008

United States survey data estimates vaccination coverage for children aged 19-35 months across 50 states and selected local areas. The dataset is produced by the National Immunization Survey (NIS) using a random-digit-dialed household survey followed by provider verification. It covers the year 2008.

Use Cases

• Analyze state-level disparities in vaccination coverage using geographic identifiers.
• Model the relationship between child age (19-35 months) and likelihood of receiving specific vaccine series.
• Assess the impact of survey weighting adjustments on coverage estimates for households with multiple telephone lines.
• Track trends in provider-reported vaccination data compared to initial household survey responses.

Strengths

• National coverage across 50 states and selected local areas.
• Data collection uses a two-phase method: household survey and provider verification.

Limitations

• Survey methodology excludes households without landline telephones, introducing potential bias.
• Sample size and specific row count are unknown.
