From 2000 to 2001 through 2010 to 2011, influenza vaccination increased among children living in Tennessee, but the proportion of fully vaccinated children remained less than 50%, according to study findings.
From 2000 to 2004, before influenza was routinely recommended for all children, the proportion of fully vaccinated children remained below 6%. Vaccine uptake increased progressively, however, peaking in 2010 to 2011 when 38% of children were fully vaccinated, the researchers wrote.
