Vaccines work with the body's natural defenses to help it safely develop immunity to
diseases. Childhood vaccines offer life-saving protection from many very serious
diseases, including: whooping cough (pertussis), diphtheria, tetanus, polio, measles,
mumps, rubella, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), hepatitis B,chickenpox
(varicella), pneumococcal disease (including pneumonia), rotavirus, and hepatitis
A.

Data Sources
- Minnesota Immunization Information Connection (MIIC) immunization information system.
Data Notes
- MIIC data may underestimate the actual percent of children receiving vaccines because: (1) health care provider participation in MIIC is voluntary, (2) the MIIC population may include children who have moved, and (3) cross border-state immunization data exchange is limited to Wisconsin and North Dakota.
- The MIIC population used to calculate childhood immunization rates is all individuals ages 24-35 months 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.
