We examined the associations of having health insurance and having a usual source of medical care with age-appropriate childhood vaccination.
Simulations were conducted with multivariate logistic regression models and a nationally representative sample of children to assess the likelihood of age-appropriate vaccination.
Simulated provision of health insurance and a usual source of medical care produced substantial increases in the likelihood of doses being received age-appropriately. Increases in the likelihood of a child's being up to date were also observed, but these increases typically were smaller than for age-appropriate vaccination.
Changes in childhood vaccination status should be assessed in age-appropriate terms, because measures of "up to date" status may not capture the effects of immunization interventions.
我们研究了拥有医疗保险和有常规医疗服务来源与适龄儿童疫苗接种之间的关联。
使用多变量逻辑回归模型和全国代表性儿童样本进行模拟,以评估适龄接种疫苗的可能性。
模拟提供医疗保险和常规医疗服务来源后,适龄接种疫苗的可能性大幅增加。还观察到儿童疫苗接种及时的可能性有所增加,但这些增加通常小于适龄接种疫苗的增加幅度。
儿童疫苗接种状况的变化应以适龄的方式进行评估,因为“接种及时”状态的衡量标准可能无法反映免疫干预措施的效果。
