The annual pre-kindergarten (pre-K) through 12th grade school immunization survey collects school-level, grade-specific data on vaccine coverage and exemptions. The survey collects vaccination and exemption status data on children who entered the school system on or before a specified date during the fall semester. Individual vaccine information on each student is not collected.

This table shows the total percentage of vaccination exemptions (medical or religious) for each school. Data includes all schools who reported data students in any grade level Pre-K through twelve.

The values for schools with fewer than 30 enrolled students are suppressed, and those fields are left blank

Data Limitations and Considerations:
• The school level data shown here are as tabulated and reported by schools and discrepancies may exist.
• The Immunization Program identifies outliers and internally inconsistent data points and works with schools to resolve any data quality issues, when possible.
• CT DPH cannot verify the accuracy of vaccine data for individual children or whether the documentation necessary to claim an exemption has been submitted.
• Data are collected at the beginning of the school year, by which time vaccines are due. As the year progresses, immunization rates may increase as additional children receive required immunizations. Additionally, the student body is dynamic and as students arrive and leave school, the immunization rates are impacted.
• Vaccine status is assessed on the level of the child and not on each vaccine. Once a child is listed as exempt, vaccination data is no longer collected in the survey for that child. Therefore, children with exemptions are not counted as vaccinated in the vaccine level assessments although they may have received some vaccines.

The data can be found at https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/COVID-19-Town-Level-Data/icxw-cada . To protect confidentiality, if a town has fewer than 5 cases or positive NAAT tests over the past 7 days, those data will be suppressed.

Daily and cumulative COVID-19 cases, associated deaths, and tests in Connecticut. Data is presented by the date of the specimen collection for cases and tests and the date of death for the COVID-19 associated deaths.

Data are incomplete for the most recent days. Data may be reported several days after the result, and data from previous dates are routinely updated.

This dataset provides the number of weekly COVID-19 cases for staff and students in CT PK-12 schools by school during the 2022-2023 school year.

This dataset is replaced in full each week.

Data are preliminary and subject to change.

As of 1/13/2022, this dataset is no longer being updated and has been replaced with a new dataset, which can be accessed here: https://data.ct.gov/Health-and-Human-Services/COVID-19-Vaccinations-by-Census-Tract/ekim-wqrr

COVID-19 Vaccinations by Census Tract and Age Groups, including Ages 16+, Ages 16-44, Ages 45-64, and Ages 65+.

CT Vaccination Program (COVP) data obtained from CTWiZ. COVP Coverage data suppressed if the any of the following conditions were met:
-Coefficient of Variation of Denominator is > 30%
-Numerator is <5
-Population is estimated to be 0 (zero)

Population data obtained from the 2019 Census ACS (www.census.gov)

DPH recommends that these data are primarily used to identify areas that require additional attention rather than to establish and track the exact level of vaccine coverage.

All analyses are provisional and subject to change.

Census tract coverage estimates can play an important role in planning and evaluating vaccination strategies. However, inaccuracies in the data that are inherent to population surveillance may be magnified when analyses are performed on population subgroups within census tracts. We make every effort to provide accurate data, but inaccuracies may result from things like incomplete or inaccurate addresses, duplicate records, and sampling error in the American Community Survey that is used to estimate census tract population size and composition. These things may result in overestimates or underestimates of vaccine coverage.

Some census tracts are suppressed. This is done if the number of people vaccinated is less than 5 or if the census population estimate is considered to be unreliable (coefficient of variance > 30%). Coverage estimates over 100% are shown as 100%. We suggest that the data are used primarily to identify areas that require additional attention rather than to establish and track the exact level of vaccine coverage. All analyses are provisional and subject to change.

Caution should be used when interpreting coverage estimates for towns with large college/university populations since coverage may be underestimated. In the census, college/university students who live on or just off campus would be counted in the college/university town. However, if a student was vaccinated while studying remotely in his/her hometown, the student may be counted as a vaccine recipient in that town.

This report summarizes data on COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 associated deaths by race/ethnicity for the state of Connecticut and the 10 largest Connecticut towns. Data on race/ethnicity are missing on almost half (47%) of reported COVID-19 cases. CT DPH has urged healthcare providers and laboratories to complete information on race/ethnicity for all COVID-19 cases.

All data in this report are preliminary; data will be updated as new COVID-19 case reports are received and data errors are corrected. Data on COVID-19 cases and COVID-19-associated deaths were last updated on April 20, 2020 at 3 PM. Information about race and ethnicity are collected on the Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) COVID-19 case report form, which is completed by healthcare providers for laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases. Information about the race/ethnicity of COVID-19-associated deaths also are collected by the Connecticut Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and shared with DPH. Race/ethnicity categories used in this report are mutually exclusive. People answering ‘yes’ to more than one race category are counted as ‘other’.

Important change as of June 1, 2022

As of June 1, 2022, we will be using 2020 DPH provisional census estimates* to calculate vaccine coverage percentages by gender at the state level. 2020 estimates will replace the 2019 estimates that have been used. Caution should be taken when making comparisons of percentages calculated using the 2019 and 2020 census estimates since observed difference may result from the shift in the denominator.

This tables shows the number and percent of people that have initiated COVID-19 vaccination, are fully vaccinated grouped by gender and have additional dose 1 grouped by gender.

All data in this report are preliminary; data for previous dates will be updated as new reports are received and data errors are corrected.

Population size estimates are based on 2019 DPH census estimates until 5/26/2022. From 6/1/2022, 2020 DPH provisional census estimates are used.

A person who has received at least one dose of any COVID-19 vaccine is considered to have initiated vaccination. A person is considered fully vaccinated if they have completed a primary series by receiving 2 doses of the Pfizer, Novavax or Moderna vaccines or 1 dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The fully vaccinated are a subset of the number who have received at least one dose. Population estimates are based on 2019 CT population estimates. Bivalent booster administrations are not included in the additional dose 1 calculations.

A person who completed a Pfizer, Moderna, Novavax or Johnson & Johnson primary series (as defined above) and then had an additional bivalent dose of COVID-19 vaccine is considered to have had additional dose 1. The additional dose may be Pfizer, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson and may be a different type from the primary series. For people who had a primary Pfizer or Moderna series, additional dose 1 was counted starting August 18th, 2021. For people with a Johnson & Johnson primary series additional dose 1 was counted starting October 22nd, 2021. For most people, additional dose 1 is a booster. However, additional dose 1 may represent a supplement to the primary series for a people who is moderately or severely immunosuppressed.

The percent with at least one dose may be over-estimated and the percent fully vaccinated and with additional dose 1 may be under-estimated because of vaccine administration records for individuals that cannot be linked because of differences in how names or date of birth are reported.

Connecticut COVID-19 Vaccine Program providers are required to report information on all COVID-19 vaccine doses administered to CT WiZ, the Connecticut Immunization Information System. This includes doses given to residents of CT and to residents of other states vaccinated in CT. Data on doses administered to CT residents out-of-state are being added to CT WiZ jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction. Doses administered by some Federal entities (including Department of Defense, Department of Correction, Department of Veteran’s Affairs, Indian Health Service) are not yet reported to CT WiZ. Data reported here reflect the vaccination records reported to CT WiZ. However, once CT residents who have received doses in each jurisdiction are added to CT WiZ, the records for residents of that jurisdiction vaccinated in CT are removed. For example, when CT residents vaccinated in NYC were added, NYC residents vaccinated in CT were removed.

The annual pre-kindergarten (pre-K) through 12th grade school immunization survey collects school-level, grade-specific data on vaccine coverage and exemptions. The survey collects vaccination and exemption status data on children who entered the school system on or before a specified date during the fall semester. Individual vaccine information on each student is not collected.

This table shows the percentage of seventh grade students vaccinated for each school-entry mandated vaccine series and the percentage with vaccination exemptions (medical or religious) reported by school. Percentage of students vaccinated is the number of students with the required number of doses of a given vaccine divided by the total number of students. Data includes all schools who reported students in seventh grade.

School-mandated vaccine series for students enrolled in seventh grade are inactivated polio, DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis), MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella), hepatitis B, varicella, hepatitis A, meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV) and Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis).

Each child has 1 of 4 possible vaccination statutes: Vaccinated, Exempt (Religious), Exempt (Medical) or Non-compliant. The criteria shown below are used to assess whether a child is considered vaccinated.

• MMR = at least 2 doses of MMR vaccine separated by at least 28 days, with the 1st dose on or after their 1st birthday. This is a school entry requirement starting in kindergarten.
• Varicella = at least 2 doses of varicella vaccine separated by at least 28 days, with the 1st dose on or after their 1st birthday, or a reliable history of chickenpox disease. This is a school entry requirement starting in kindergarten.
• HepA = at least 2 doses of hepatitis A vaccine, given a minimum of six calendar months apart, with the 1st dose on or after their 1st birthday. This is a school entry requirement starting in kindergarten. Starting with the 2019-2020 school year the annual survey included data collection on hepatitis A vaccine for 7th grade students.
• MCV = at least 1 dose of meningococcal conjugate vaccine. This is a school entry requirement starting in 7th grade.
• Tdap = at least 1 dose of Tdap vaccine. This is a school entry requirement starting in 7th grade.
• All = Percentage of students with all above vaccine series required for that grade level.

Children without a record of vaccination, but with serologic proof of immunity to certain diseases (measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, hepatitis A, and varicella), meet school entry requirements and may be counted as vaccinated.

The values for schools with fewer than 30 enrolled seventh graders are suppressed, and those fields are left blank.

Data Limitations and Considerations:
• The school level data shown here are as tabulated and reported by schools and discrepancies may exist.
• The Immunization Program identifies outliers and internally inconsistent data points and works with schools to resolve any data quality issues, when possible.
• CT DPH cannot verify the accuracy of vaccine data for individual children or whether the documentation necessary to claim an exemption has been submitted.
• Data are collected at the beginning of the school year, by which time vaccines are due. As the year progresses, immunization rates may increase as additional children receive required immunizations. Additionally, the student body is dynamic and as students arrive and leave school, the immunization rates are impacted.
• Vaccine status is assessed on the level of the child and not on each vaccine. Once a child is listed as exempt, vaccination data is no longer collected in the survey for that child. Therefore, children with exemptions are not counted as vaccinated in the vaccine level assessments although they may have received some vaccines.
•One school was excluded due to a data collection error.
