Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; HPV = human papillomavirus; MenACWY = quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine; MMR = measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine; Tdap = tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis vaccine; UTD = up-to-date.

* Adolescents (N = 18,788) in the 2019 NIS-Teen were born January 2001 through February 2007.

MSA status was determined by household-reported county of residence and was grouped into three categories: MSA principal city, MSA nonprincipal city, and non-MSA. MSA and principal city were as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau (https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/metro-micro/about.html). Non-MSA areas include urban populations not located within an MSA and completely rural areas.

§ Estimates with 95% CIs >20 might not be reliable.

Includes percentages receiving Tdap at age ≥10 years.

** Includes percentages receiving MenACWY and meningococcal-unknown type vaccine.

†† Statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in estimated vaccination coverage by MSA; referent group was adolescents living in MSA principal city areas.

§§ ≥2 doses of MenACWY or meningococcal-unknown type vaccine. Calculated only among adolescents aged 17 years at interview. Does not include adolescents who received 1 dose of MenACWY at age ≥16 years.

¶¶ HPV vaccine, nine-valent (9vHPV), quadrivalent (4vHPV), or bivalent (2vHPV).

*** HPV UTD includes those who’ve received ≥3 doses and those with 2 doses when the first HPV vaccine dose was initiated before age 15 years and there was at least 5 months minus 4 days between the first and second dose. This update to the HPV recommendation occurred in December of 2016.

††† In July 2020, ACIP revised recommendations for Hepatitis A vaccination to include catch-up vaccination for children and adolescents aged 2–18 years who have not previously received Hepatitis A vaccine at any age (http://dx.doi.org/10.15585/mmwr.rr6905a1).
