“…50 -52, 58, 68 -70 Although we found no disparities between black and white children, we did observe higher uptake in Asian, Hispanic, and other/multiracial children. There were no significant racial/ethnic disparities nationally among children in most recent influenza seasons, 69 although higher uptake among Asian children has been observed. 70 Generally, higher parental education is associated with higher influenza vaccine uptake in children.…”

“…This is to be expected because previously published reports of coverage with at least 1 dose of influenza vaccination have shown increases during this time. 19,23 Despite the increase, the majority of children 6 to 23 months in the United States were not fully vaccinated against influenza.…”

OBJECTIVE Prevention of influenza among infants and young children is a public health priority because of their high risk for influenza-related complications. Depending on a child’s age and previous influenza vaccination history, they are recommended to receive either 1 dose or 2 doses of influenza vaccine to be considered fully vaccinated against influenza for the season. We compared estimates of full (complete) influenza vaccination coverage of children 6 to 23 months across 10 consecutive influenza seasons (2002–2012), by race/ethnicity, age group, and by number of doses required to be fully vaccinated given child’s vaccination history. METHODS National Immunization Survey data were used to estimate full influenza vaccination status among children 6 to 23 months on the basis of provider report. Estimates were computed by using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis methods. RESULTS Full influenza vaccination coverage among children 6 to 23 months increased from 4.8% in the 2002–2003 influenza season to 44.7% in the 2011–2012 season. In all 10 influenza seasons studied, non-Hispanic black children and Hispanic children had lower full influenza vaccination coverage than non-Hispanic white children. For all 10 influenza seasons, full influenza vaccination coverage was higher among children requiring only 1 dose compared with those requiring 2 doses. CONCLUSIONS Less than half of children 6 to 23 months in the United States, and an even a smaller percentage of Hispanic and non-Hispanic black children, are fully vaccinated against influenza. More implementation of evidence-based strategies that increase the percentage of children who are fully vaccinated is needed.

“…10 To our knowledge, Brim et al 11 was the first to provide national population-level estimates of influenza vaccination coverage among children with asthma, examining the 2004–2005 influenza season and finding that the influenza vaccination rate was 29.0% among children 2 to 17 years of age with asthma and 10.3% among those without asthma. Although recent research has shown that coverage has increased since then among children with and without chronic conditions, 12 influenza vaccination among children with asthma specifically has not been evaluated since the 2004–2005 season, and trends over time are unknown. 11 In addition, the percentage of children with asthma who receive early influenza vaccination has not been examined.…”

Background Children with asthma face higher risk of complications from influenza. Trends in influenza vaccination among children with asthma are unknown. Methods We used 2005–2013 National Health Interview Survey data for children 2 to 17 years of age. We assessed, separately for children with and without asthma, any vaccination (received August through May) during each of the 2005–2006 through 2012–2013 influenza seasons and, for the 2010–2011 through 2012–2013 seasons only, early vaccination (received August through October). We used April–July interviews each year (n = 31,668) to assess vaccination during the previous influenza season. Predictive margins from logistic regression with time as the independent and vaccination status as the dependent variable were used to assess time trends. We also estimated the association between several sociodemographic variables and the likelihood of influenza vaccination. Results From 2005 to 2013, among children with asthma, influenza vaccination receipt increased about 3 percentage points per year (P < .001), reaching 55% in 2012–2013. The percentage of all children with asthma vaccinated by October (early vaccination) was slightly above 30% in 2012–2013. In 2010–2013, adolescents, the uninsured, children of parents with some college education, and those living in the Midwest, South, and West were less likely to be vaccinated. Conclusions The percentage of children 2 to 17 years of age with asthma receiving influenza vaccination has increased since 2004–2005, reaching approximately 55% in 2012–2013.
