WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across three dimensions: children and teenager immunization rates, adult and elderly vaccination rates, and immunization uptake disparities and influencing factors. States were given a score for each dimension, which was then composited into a score based on a 100-point scale, with 100 representing the most favorable conditions.
