Description

For sample adults and sample children who had at least one COVID-19 vaccination (CVDSHTNUM), CVDSHTTYPE1 reports the brand of their first COVID-19 shot. In 2022, this question was asked of sample adults and sample children 5-17 or sample children 0-4 whom interviews were completed in August-December 2022 (INTERVWMO)

Users should note that category "4 = Novavax shot" was added to the survey in Q4 of 2022, meaning it was not available as a response option prior to October 2022.

This variable is one of several COVID-related immunization questions sponsored by the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD).

NCHS added nearly 30 questions related to COVID starting in quarter 3 of the 2020 NHIS questionnaire, eight of which are asked of both sample adults and sample children. For the full list of variables, as well as information about COVID-related changes to the NHIS, please see the user note.
