Immunization registries: use of race and ethnicity- and socioeconomic status indicators to identify immunization disparities.
Immunization registries play a key role in monitoring immunization coverage levels and reducing health disparities associated with under-immunization. In this study immunization coverage rates for racial/ethnic minority groups and socio-economic status indicators are obtained from the results of the 2006 National Immunization Survey. A comparison of coverage rates with and without SES indicators reveals disparities previously obscured in coverage levels which are based on race/ethnicity data exclusively.
