- Has at least 25 children in either the 24–35-month-old cohort or the 13–17-year-old cohort;
- Reached at least 90% coverage — as calculated from CIR data — for the 4 DTaP: 3 Polio: 1 MMR: 4 Hib*: 3 Hep B: 1 Varicella: 4 PCV* (4:3:1:4:3:1:4) vaccine series, assessed by seconnd birthday, among patients ages 24 to 35 months;

Coverage is measured when the Provider Quality Assurance Unit conducts site visits to evaluate VFC compliance and immunization practices. All assessments are currently based on Citywide Immunization Registry (CIR) data. Also assessed during a site visit are two doses of Hep A coverage for the childhood cohort.
* Hib and PCV requirements vary, based on age at first dose, total number of doses already received, current age, and product used.
