Note. These numbers do not represent reported case counts. Rather, these numbers are point estimates, which result from adjustments of reported case counts. The reported case counts are adjusted for reporting delays and for redistribution of cases in persons initially reported without an identified risk factor. The estimates do not include adjustment for incomplete reporting.
a Includes 1,472 persons of unknown race or multiple races.
b Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
c Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, and risk factor not reported or not identified.
