Vaccination Patterns and Insurance Coverage

Paper Summary:

This journal article analysis examines an article entitled 'Associations Between Childhood Vaccination Coverage Insurance Type And Breaks In Health Insurance' by Smith, Stevenson and Chu (2006). The authors attempt to identify trends if any in relationships between vaccination patterns insurance coverage as well as insurance types in children. This analysis concludes that the authors have not contributed any original research and based their hypothesis on a faulty sampling methodology based on survey results that they didn't undertake themselves.

From the Paper:

"These authors also sought to determine if race or ethnicity factor into these vaccination patterns as well. The researchers rely predominantly on a survey of 8324 children who were surveyed by the National Immunization Survey who were also covered by some type of insurance program be it Medicaid or state sponsored coverage as well as private insurance policies. The survey also included children who were not covered at the time of the survey or who, at some point in time prior to the survey, left temporarily without insurance coverage. "
