Vaccination percentages for kindergarten and seventh grade, 2022-23

Percent of kindergarteners vaccinated

Kindergarten immunization and legal exemption data by county, district, and school 2022-23 (Excel)
This spreadsheet has three tabs: county, district, school. Each tab shows vaccination and legal exemption percentages by vaccine type.

Downloadable data: Percent of kindergarteners vaccinated (CSV)

This graph displays the percent of kindergarten students fully vaccinated for DTaP, HepB, MMR, polio, and varicella over the last 10 school years. Vaccination rates have continued to decline since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rates have decreased nearly 4-percentage-points for most of the required vaccines, leaving many more students vulnerable to vaccine preventable disease.

Downloadable data: Percent of kindergarteners with in-progress or missing doses (CSV)

This graph displays the percent of kindergarten students that are in-progress or missing doses over the last 10 school years. Rates of in-progress or missing doses have increased and remained high since the start of the pandemic. Students in this category may be behind on their vaccinations or may not have submitted all their documentation to their school. Ensuring school-age children get back on track is critical to ensure broad protection against vaccine preventable disease outbreaks.

Downloadable data: Kindergarten students exempt to all vaccines (CSV)

This graph displays the percent of kindergarten students with non-medical exemptions over the last 10 school years, by vaccine. Statewide non-medical exemption rates have been steadily increasing over the years. There was a slight drop in non-medical exemption rates during the 2020-21 school year, however, we have now returned to the previous trend and rates are steadily increasing each school year.

Percent of seventh graders vaccinated

Seventh grade immunization and legal exemption data by county, district, and school 2022-23 (Excel)
This spreadsheet has three tabs: county, district, school. Each tab shows vaccination and legal exemption percentages by vaccine type.

Downloadable data: Seventh grade students fully vaccinated (CSV)

This graph displays the percent of seventh grade students fully vaccinated for meningococcal and Tdap over the last 10 school years. Coverage for the vaccines required for seventh grade students rebounded some in 2021-22 but remain more than 5 percentage points lower than coverage levels seen pre-pandemic.

Downloadable data: Seventh graders missing vaccines (CSV)

This graph displays the percent of seventh graders missing Tdap and meningococcal vaccines over the last 10 school years. Rates of seventh grade students missing Tdap and meningococcal vaccines have doubled compared to the rates pre-pandemic.

Downloadable data: Seventh grade students exempt to all vaccines (CSV)

This graph displays the percent of seventh grade students with non-medical exemptions over the last 10 school years. Statewide non-medical exemption rates have been steadily increasing over the years. There was a slight drop in non-medical exemption rates during the 2020-21 school year, however, we have now returned to the previous trend and rates are steadily increasing each school year.
