CDC report on 2005 infant vaccination coverage

The National Immunization Survey is an annual effort by the CDC to evaluate coverage rates in infant populations (19-35 months) across the country. The telephone survey has several limitations and many critics, but it remains the best available, most comprehensive source of data on the success of vaccination programs nationwide.

In this week's MMWR, the 2005 data and discussion has been published. The report doesn't lend itself well to summary here, but suffice it to say that it is an excellent starting point for those looking for data of the scope of U.S. vaccination efforts in infants.
