Fewer young children are receiving common vaccinations, according to a new study from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Of children born in 2020 or 2021, 1.2 percent have received no vaccinations at age 2, compared to 0.9 percent of children born in 2018 or 2019 at age 2, the CDC says in the paper.
