The overall goal of this project is to estimate measures of validity in self-reported vaccine status for nine vaccines (influenza; pneumococcal; herpes zoster; tetanus-diphtheria [Td]; tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis [Tdap]; human papillomavirus [HPV]; hepatitis A; hepatitis B; and COVID-19) within demographic and disease risk groups. These measures include sensitivity, specificity, and net bias. These measures will then be used to adjust estimates produced by self-report surveys, resulting in better information on which to base programmatic decisions and efforts to increase the uptake of vaccines throughout the U.S. These estimates of validity must be vaccine-specific and specific to demographic and risk factor groups, because some groups may be able to more accurately report their vaccine status than others. We will also conduct an in-depth examination of alternative non-survey sources for estimating vaccine coverage and produce a White Paper on this issue.
This stakeholder map plots organizations that are working to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake in Colorado. The goal of this map is to provide a resource to help individuals and public health partners identify and understand current efforts to increase vaccine uptake in their communities.
