Immunizations for Adolescents (IMA-E)*  

The percentage of persons 13 years of age who had one dose of meningococcal vaccine, one tetanus, diphtheria toxoids and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine, and have completed the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine series by their 13th birthday.

The measure calculates a rate for each vaccine and two combination rates.

Why It Matters?

This measure follows the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) guidelines for immunizations 1 2 3.

These vaccines are available for adolescents to prevent them from acquiring serious diseases and help protect against disease in populations that lack immunity, such as infants, the elderly and individuals with chronic conditions.

In 2022, data from NIS-Teen showed that 89.9% of adolescents surveyed had received a Tdap vaccine, 88.6% had received a meningococcal vaccine and 62.6% had received full doses of the HPV vaccine 4.

Adapted with financial support from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC).
