- Abstract
The article discusses the results of the analysis made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the adult coverage for pneumococcal, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, herpes zoster, tetanus and human papillomavirus vaccines in the U.S. in 2010. The study found increases in adult vaccination coverage for tetanus and herpes zoster as compared with 2009 estimates. It also found that coverage rates for pneumococcal and hepatitis B vaccines remained unchanged. One of the limitations of the study is the lack of medical record validation for the determination of vaccination status.
