Childhood Immunizations - Two Year Old Children

Each year an annual immunization survey of two-year-old children born in Florida is conducted to determine if children are being immunized on schedule and to measure immunization levels based on high-risk maternal factors.  The random sample survey provides estimated immunization levels for 20 selected counties and the state.

• The charts shown below reflect the survey results for the basic 4/3/1 (four DTaP, three polio, and one MMR) series of vaccines
   
• According to the annual survey of immunization levels in two-year-old children, Pinellas County’s immunization levels have improved significantly since 2001 following a sharp drop off from the record high established in 2000.  The 2006 level, at 90.3%, is only fractionally below the 2000 high.
  
   

   

• It is important to note, however, that because this is a survey, the estimated percentage for Pinellas County, or any county, may vary significantly from the actual percentage due to sampling and non-sampling errors.  The 95% confidence intervals for Pinellas County, the state of Florida and selected comparative counties on the 2006 survey are shown below.
  
   

• A comparison of Pinellas County’s 2006 immunization level to that of Florida and selected Florida counties
  shows that Pinellas was significantly above the state average and had the highest immunization level of the
  comparative counties.
