The vaccination rate among urban children is twice the rural rate.
Several New England states are leading the vaccination effort for young children, with vaccinations in Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island all above 35 percent — far higher than the nationwide average of 19 percent, according to an NBC News analysis of data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dr. Nusheen Ameenuddin, a community pediatrician at the Mayo Clinic, said the divergence between rural and urban counties could be due to access to the vaccines. Not all rural counties are lagging in child vaccinations. Parts of Arizona, Alaska, Minnesota and New Mexico are vaccinating kids faster than some urban areas. And some urban areas have fallen behind rural counties, including parts of Virginia, Tennessee and Louisiana.
“A lot of parents, even a lot of parents that are vaccinated themselves, potentially have a higher bar when they’re thinking about their kids and really want to make sure they are making the right decision,” Roberts said."We really want to normalize this. Parents should be thinking through this. Parents should understand the decision they’re making."
