• Description:
  Data from the National Health Interview Survey ; • In 2019, just over one-half of children aged 6 months through 17 years (53.1%) had an influenza vaccination in the past 12 months. ; • Overall, and for each race and Hispanic-origin group examined, influenza vaccination coverage was lower with increasing age. ; • Across all age groups, children in more rural areas had lower influenza vaccination coverage than those in urban areas. ; • The percentage of children who had received an influenza vaccination in the past 12 months ranged from 47.9% in the East South Central region to 65.3% in the New England region of the United States. ; Increasing the proportion of persons, including children, who are vaccinated annually against seasonal influenza is a Healthy People 2030 Leading Health Indicator (1). Vaccination is effective in preventing influenza (2), and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends an annual influenza vaccination for children aged 6 months and over (3). This report examines the percentage of children aged 6 months through 17 years who had an influenza vaccination in the past 12 months using data from the 2019 National Health Interview Survey. ; Suggested citation: Black LI, Ng AE, Zablotsky B.
