In 2000, a total of 118,846 persons indicated that their race/ethnicity was Alaska Native (AN), either alone or in combination with one or more other racial/ethnic groups. AN groups comprise 19% of the population of Alaska and 0.4% of the total U.S. population. The AN grouping includes Eskimos, Aleuts, and Alaska Indians (members of the Alaska Athabaskan, Tlingit, Haida, or other AN tribes). Eskimo represented the largest AN tribal grouping, followed by Tlingit/Haida, Alaska Athabascan, and Aleut. Vaccination coverage levels among AN children have not been reported previously. This report presents data from the National Immunization Survey (NIS) for 2000-2001, which indicate that vaccination coverage levels among AN children aged 19-35 months exceeded the national health objective for 2010 (objective no. 14-22) for the majority of vaccines. This achievement indicates the effectiveness of using multiple strategies to increase vaccination coverage. Similar efforts might increase vaccination coverage in other rural regions with American Indian (AI)/AN populations.
2000年，共有118,846人表示他们的种族/族裔是阿拉斯加原住民（AN），可以是单独的，也可以是与一个或多个其他种族/族裔群体组合的。阿拉斯加原住民群体占阿拉斯加人口的19%，占美国总人口的0.4%。阿拉斯加原住民群体包括爱斯基摩人、阿留申人以及阿拉斯加印第安人（阿拉斯加阿萨巴斯卡人、特林吉特人、海达人或其他阿拉斯加原住民部落的成员）。爱斯基摩人是最大的阿拉斯加原住民部落群体，其次是特林吉特人/海达人、阿拉斯加阿萨巴斯卡人和阿留申人。此前尚未报告阿拉斯加原住民儿童的疫苗接种覆盖率。本报告提供了2000 - 2001年国家免疫调查（NIS）的数据，这些数据表明，19至35个月大的阿拉斯加原住民儿童的疫苗接种覆盖率在大多数疫苗方面超过了2010年的国家卫生目标（目标编号14 - 22）。这一成果表明了采用多种策略提高疫苗接种覆盖率的有效性。类似的努力可能会提高其他有美洲印第安人（AI）/阿拉斯加原住民人口的农村地区的疫苗接种覆盖率。
