Email, Carrie Williams, director of media relations, Texas Department of State Health Services, Feb. 5, 2014

5:18 p.m.

Attached is our historical data for two age groups:

·         The National Immunization Survey’s analysis of the 19-35 month age group

·         The Texas Annual Report of Immunization Status for kindergarteners

These two charts show the rates going back in time for two different age groups. The rates for 19-35 month age group have generally gone up over time. The kindergarten rate had a slight decline. You’ll want to make sure you are comparing the same age groups in your analysis.

I have to be out of the office tomorrow, but Chris Van Deusen and Christine Mann will be here and can assist as needed. They are copied here.

Carrie
