Abstract

We compared measles mumps rubella (MMR) and influenza vaccination rates of children presenting to a Pediatric Emergency Department (PED) in New York City with rates from national assessments. MMR and influenza vaccination rates in this PED population were generally comparable to community rates but lower than Healthy People 2020 targets.
