The National Health Interview Survey/National Immunization Provider Record Check Study (NHIS/NIPRCS) Public-Use Data Files:
NHIS/NIPRCS collected immunization history on a national household sample of children 12-35 months of age. Data from immunization providers are used to validate the child's immunization history reported by the household respondent from shot records and from memory. Discrepancies between household and provider reported vaccination histories are reconciled. The combined household and provider reports are used to form "best value" estimates of vaccination coverage. NHIS/NIPRCS data provide a unique opportunity to compare characteristics and vaccination status of children who reside in telephone households with those who reside in households without telephones.
