Annotation:

The NHIS uses in-person interviews to collect information on health and health care for all eligible members of the sampled households. Information on adult vaccinations is self-reported by one randomly sampled adult within a family, except in rare cases when the selected adult is physically or mentally incapable of responding. Information on child vaccinations is provided by a knowledgeable adult household member.
