Figure 1. Vaccination coverage of children who turned the milestone ages each month from January to November in 2019 and 2020. VC assessed by 3 months old (Panel A) and 5 months old (Panel B) for the first and second doses of DTaP and rotavirus vaccines scheduled at 2 and 4 months old. *P-value < .05 for the comparison in VC between 2019 and 2020 using a chi-square test.
