BACKGROUND: @entity283 ( @entity283 ) are at risk for exposure to and possible transmission of vaccine-preventable diseases. Maintenance of immunity is an essential prevention practice for @entity283 . We assessed the recent @entity683 , @entity1956 , and @entity116 vaccination coverage among @entity283 in the United States. METHODS: We analyzed data from the 2007 National Immunization Survey-Adult restricted to survey respondents aged 18 to 64  years. Influenza, @entity1956 , and @entity116 vaccination coverage levels among @entity283 were assessed. Multivariable logistic regression was conducted to assess factors independently associated with receipt of vaccination among @entity283 . RESULTS: Among @entity283 aged 18 to 64 years, 46.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 39.6%-53.8%) had received @entity683 vaccination for the 2006-2007 season, and 70.4% (95% CI: 63.9%-76.1%) received @entity116 vaccination in the past 10 years; 61.7% (95% CI: 52.5%-70.2%) had received 3 or more doses of @entity1956 vaccination among @entity283 aged 18 to 49 years. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that being married was associated with @entity683 vaccination coverage, higher education level was associated with @entity1956 vaccination coverage, and younger age was significantly associated with @entity116 vaccination among @entity283 . Among those @entity283 who did not receive @entity683 vaccination, the most common reason reported was respondent concerns about vaccine safety and adverse effects. CONCLUSION: By 2007, @entity683 and @entity1956 vaccination coverage among @entity283 remained well below the Healthy @entity1 2010 objectives. @entity116 vaccination level was 70%, and this study provided a baseline data for @entity116 vaccination among @entity283 . Innovative strategies are needed to further increase vaccination coverage among @entity283 .
