• Description:
  This report describes changes in twin births from 2019 to 2021, which includes the period in late 2020 and early 2021 when reduced access to infertility services may have further impacted the already declining number of twin births. Changes are described by maternal age and by race and Hispanic origin because use of infertility services differs by these characteristics.
