Quantifying the Health and Economic Costs of Declining Childhood Vaccination

VaxImpactMap projects the likely health and economic consequences of declining coverage for childhood vaccines across the United States. The tool includes rotavirus disease, pertussis (whooping cough), invasive pneumococcal disease, varicella (chickenpox), invasive Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) disease, and RSV-associated disease among infants. Explore the projected impacts in your state and nationwide.

Rotavirus Adverse Events

For rotavirus vaccines, the modeled adverse event is intussusception, a rare bowel blockage requiring hospital treatment and sometimes surgery. Estimates are expected population-level counts, not predictions of individual risk. See Methods for details.
