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.
