Objectives. We have described vaccine coverage of Michigan young adolescents immunized with tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis; meningococcal conjugate; and human papillomavirus vaccines during 2006–2008. Methods. We obtained data from the Michigan Care Improvement Registry, a state-based immunization information system that included more than 57 million vaccination records. We examined 3 overlapping cohorts of 11- and 12-year-old children (n > 350 000 in each) to assess temporal trends in vaccination coverage, characteristics of those immunized, funding sources, and vaccination sites. Results. Vaccine uptake increased during 2006 through 2008, peaking in the summer months. More than half of children receiving more than 1 vaccine received the vaccines simultaneously. Older age, receipt of Medicaid, and prior completion of early childhood immunizations were associated with greater odds of vaccination. Conclusions. Vaccine coverage among Michigan young adolescents is increasing but continues to be relatively low. Coverage of 11- and 12-year-old children may improve with efforts to encourage vaccination at all health care visits, an increase in public funding in support of adolescent vaccination, and continued monitoring of adolescent vaccination levels through school-based assessments
