Geospatial Variation in Rotavirus Vaccination in Infants, United States, 2010–2017

Abstract

We evaluated rotavirus vaccination rates in the United States by using records from a nationwide health database. From data on 519,697 infants, we found 68.6% received the entire rotavirus vaccine series. We noted pockets of undervaccination in many states, particularly in the Northeast and in some western states.
