Vaccines work with the body's natural defenses to help it safely develop immunity to
diseases. Adolescent vaccines offer life-saving protection from serious
diseases, including: whooping cough (pertussis), diphtheria, tetanus,
meningococcal, and human papillomavirus.

Data Sources
- Minnesota Immunization Information Connection (MIIC) immunization information system.
Data Notes
- MIIC data may underestimate the actual percent of adolescents receiving vaccines because: (1) health care provider participation in MIIC is voluntary, (2) the MIIC population may include adolescents who have moved, and (3) cross border-state immunization data exchange is limited to Wisconsin and North Dakota.
- The MIIC population used to calculate adolescent immunization rates is all individuals ages 13 years and 19 years in MIIC.
- To protect privacy, MIIC subpopulations of 10 or fewer are displayed on the map in white, indicating “data not shown.” These subpopulations are also indicated by two asterisks (**) in the table and pop-up window.
