Early childhood vaccination rates rise in Iowa study says
The Blue Cross Blue Shield Association report shows Iowa children in 2016 had 74.6 percent up to date on CDC vaccines, above the national 73.5 percent. Birth year analysis shows 77 percent of 2013 births completed vaccines by 2016, with 78.7 percent of 2013-born Iowa children vaccinated by age 2.5, up 11.5 points from 2010 births. Parental refusals and missed well visits lowered nationwide rates.

CDC Recommends Seven Vaccines for Young Children
The CDC advises a seven vaccine series for children up to age three, including DTaP Hib HepB IPV MMR PCV and Varicella from 2010 to 2013. A 2016 Iowa refusal rate was 1.1 percent, while missed well-child visits drive most under vaccination among commercially insured kids. The Blue Cross Blue Shield study urges ongoing awareness and adherence to well-child visits to boost national vaccination rates.
