Healthy People 2010 identifies national health objectives for the year 2010, including immunization objectives.
Data 2010 finds the latest data for each objective.
Examples of immunization data from these sources:
(The objective number, e.g., 14-04, has two components. The first number refers to one of 28 Healthy People chapters or "focus areas" and the second refers to a specific objective within the focus area.)

CDC's National Immunization Program links you to multiple sources that provide national, state and local data on the number of people who have received vaccines.
| | Example of state immunization data from this site: |
