Immunizations Data Dashboard
Flu Vaccination
Influenza vaccination is the most effective tool available to prevent illness due to influenza. Getting vaccinated reduces the risk of flu-related doctor's visits, hospitalization, and death.
Anyone can receive an age-appropriate influenza vaccine except infants <6 months of age and people with history of a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction to flu vaccine or any flu vaccine ingredient. Most people with egg allergies can receive flu vaccines.
7-Vaccine Series (2020 - 2023)
Babies and small children are especially vulnerable to disease. To keep babies and children healthy, doctors recommend a 19 part vaccine series (known as the 4:3:1:3:3:1:4 vaccine series) for all children within their first 35 months of age. By receiving these 19 doses of vaccine, your child will be protected against 11 dangerous diseases during their childhood.
Below are maps of Philadelphia showing the current coverage rates of CDC recommended vaccine for children and adolescents (19 - 35 months). The Immunization Program works with parents and their communities to encourage recommended vaccination of all children and adolescents within the city. By keeping our kids vaccinated, we can eradicate vaccine preventable diseases in Philadelphia!
TDaP and HPV Vaccine (2023)
Pediatric vaccines don't stop at 35 months of age. Teenagers also need additional vaccines. An additional dose of TDaP is recommended for adolescents between 13 and 17 years of age, and the CDC recommends that all adolescents receive their HPV vaccine to prevent certain cancers as they enter adulthood.
