The purpose of this report is to cover progress in immunization, including current P/T programs and the results of the National Immunization Coverage Surveys, and to provide an update since 1998 on trends in select vaccine-preventable diseases and in adverse events following immunization.  In 2004, the telephone survey methodology was modified slightly from the 2002 survey: the range of the cohort of children aged 2 was broadened from 24 to 36 months to 20 to 40 months to facilitate data capture; a 17-year-old cohort was added; four new publicly funded vaccines under the NIS were added to the list of routine childhood immunizations; and the KAB section was expanded.
