Childhood Vaccination Data Explorer

The data below show estimates of vaccination coverage (the percentage of people who are vaccinated) in New York City for children ages 6 months to 17 years, by vaccine type. It includes trends over time and breakdowns by race and ethnicity, borough, and ZIP code. The data can be downloaded from our GitHub repository.

Vaccines prevent disease and reduce the risk of hospitalization, health complications, and death. The higher the vaccine coverage in a community, the lower the risk that a vaccine-preventable disease will spread if the disease enters the community.

The data come from the NYC Health Department's Citywide Immunization Registry (CIR). The CIR keeps immunization records for NYC residents — children and adults — throughout their lifespan and has records for non-NYC residents vaccinated in the city. Vaccinations given to people ages 18 and younger are required to be reported to CIR. People can access CIR records for themselves and their children by visiting My Vaccine Record.

Vaccines by Age Group

Children and adolescents are recommended to receive vaccines at certain ages, including the vaccines below.



How Vaccine Coverage is Calculated

Numerator: Individuals vaccinated and reported to NYC Health Department Citywide Immunization Registry (CIR).
Denominator: Population estimates produced from the NYC Health Department based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the NYC Department of City Planning. These estimates are periodically updated and may underestimate or overestimate certain populations. More details are available on GitHub.
Vaccination coverage: Calculated by dividing the numerator by the denominator and presented as a percentage.

Data Update Schedule

The data on this page will be updated twice each year. Vaccination coverage is assessed as of June 30 and December 31 each year, and data will be released a few months later.
