| Popis: | Background: In September 2014, 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) was universally recommended for all US adults aged ≥65 years. Adult PCV13 coverage, including whether disparities in uptake exist, however, is not well-described. Methods: We used a monthly series of cross-sectional analyses of administrative medical and prescription claims data collected by IQVIA and linked to sociodemographic data collected by Experian to estimate overall and subpopulation-level uptake of PCV13 among US adults aged ≥65 years. Results: Among adults aged ≥65 years, 43.3% received PCV13 by the end of November 2017. Race/ethnicity, annual household income, education status, and neighborhood urbanicity were strongly related to PCV13 uptake among adults aged ≥65 years. Lower uptake of PCV13 was observed for non-Hispanic black (36.3%) and Hispanic (30.0%) adults (vs 45.6% for non-Hispanic whites, P |
