About the National Immunization Survey-Teen (NIS-Teen)
The NIS-Teen is a national survey conducted annually by the CDC to assess immunization levels for adolescents 13-17 years of age. This study collects data by interviewing households in all 50 States, the District of Columbia, and selected areas for oversampling. The interviews are conducted by telephone, with households selected at random. To ensure the accuracy and precision of the vaccination coverage estimates, immunization data for surveyed adolescents are also collected through a mail survey of their pediatricians, family physicians, and other health care providers. The parents and guardians of eligible adolescents are asked during the telephone interview for consent to contact the adolescents’ vaccination providers. Types of immunizations, dates of administration, and additional data about facility characteristics are requested from immunization providers that are identified during the telephone survey of households. The NIS-Teen’s estimates of adolescent vaccination coverage reflect a comparison of information provided by both surveyed households and immunization providers. There is another survey, called the NIS, that assesses immunization levels among children 19-35 months of age.
The NIS-Teen was established to provide an on-going, consistent data set for analyzing vaccination levels among adolescents in the United States (US) and to disseminate this information to interested public health partners. The NIS-Teen provides national and state estimates of vaccination coverage, including new vaccines as they are licensed and recommended for use. It also helps track progress towards the Healthy People 2020 goals.
Survey Sample
The survey assessed the immunization histories of approximately 20,000 adolescents aged 13-17 years in the US. These adolescents were born between January 1999 and February 2005. In Texas, approximately 2,000 adolescents were surveyed for the 2017 NIS-Teen.
