Connecticut Leads the Country in Childhood Vaccine Coverage
 |
In a nod to the commitment of Connecticut’s pediatric healthcare providers, Governor Ned Lamont celebrated our state’s top ranking in the U.S. for childhood vaccination. In a report released last week the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ranked states by vaccination coverage for two-year-olds born in 2017 and 2018. Connecticut achieved an estimated 80.2% coverage rate for recommended vaccines by age two, well above the national average of 70.5% and topping the New England average of 79.7%. Governor Lamont credited years of hard work and collaboration among public and private partners in protecting childhood health for the high performance. |
