Iowa vaccination rates lag for 2 year olds in 2023

Iowa reports less than 70 percent of 2 year olds completed the recommended vaccine series in 2023 as rates decline since 2019, with mumps measles and rubella most affected. For ages 13 to 15, 71.6 percent completed the series in 2023, while public health officials urge continued vaccination and address religious exemptions and misinformation.
