3. COMMUNICABLE DISEASE Report Overview This chapter is part of a larger report created by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to track progress on the objectives of Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 (HW2020) and identify health disparities in the state. The full report is available at: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/P0/p00522.pdf http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/P0/p00522.pdf The report is designed to address the Health Focus Areas in HW2020. Where direct measures exist, data are presented; where direct measures are not available, related information may be included. Information about populations experiencing health disparities is provided in the Health Focus Area chapters and is summarized in separate chapters devoted to specific populations. Technical notes are available at: http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/P0/p00522y.pdf http://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/publications/P0/p00522y.pdf Report overview 3

Where confidence intervals do not overlap, as shown in the example on the right, differences are statistically significant. Larger confidence intervals may indicate less reliable estimates that should be interpreted with caution. Population estimates that are considered unreliable are excluded. Misclassification of racial/ethnic groups may affect the accuracy of rates. Unless otherwise indicated, the Hispanic population may include people of various races; Whites, Blacks, Asians, and American Indians are non- Hispanic. Report overview 8

COMMUNICABLE DISEASE Healthiest Wisconsin 2020 objectives and indicators Objective 1 By 2020, protect Wisconsin residents across the life span from vaccine- preventable diseases through vaccinations recommended by the U.S. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Objective 1 Indicator Proportion of population fully immunized according to ACIP recommendations among children aged 0-12 years, teens aged 13-17 years, and adults aged 18 years and older.

11. COMMUNICABLE DISEASE Objective 2 By 2020, implement strategies focused to prevent and control reportable communicable diseases and reduce disparities among populations with higher rates. Objective 2 Indicator Population-specific incidence rates of reportable conditions by race and ethnicity, sexual identities and orientations, gender identities, educational or economic status, and other characteristic associated with health disparities.

12. COMMUNICABLE DISEASE Rationale Communicable diseases (infectious diseases) are illnesses caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that may be transmitted from human to human or from animal to human. Advances in clean water, refrigeration, and sanitation, and the development of safe and effective vaccines, have greatly reduced the threat of communicable diseases; however, common diseases still cause outbreaks and new communicable diseases emerge. Vaccines protect more than the individual immunized; they prevent the spread of disease within the population. With persistently low adult immunization rates, new efforts are needed to encourage vaccination across the life span and increase access in all communities to eliminate disparities in immunization rates.

13. COMMUNICABLE DISEASE Key points Immunization In 2011, for most age groups, vaccination rates for children living in Wisconsin were comparable to or higher than those of children nationally. o A higher percentage of Wisconsin children ages 19-35 months living below poverty received the recommended vaccination coverage compared to their peers nationally. During 2009-2011, 65% of adults ages 65 and older received an influenza (flu) vaccination in the previous 12 months. o Low-income seniors had lower flu vaccination rates compared to middle- and high-income seniors. During 2009-2011, 73% of adults ages 65 and older had ever received a pneumonia vaccination. 13 Key points

14. COMMUNICABLE DISEASE Key findings Incidence of disease Since 2002, the incidence of meningococcal disease in Wisconsin has declined; however, disparities exist by race/ethnicity. During 2007-2010, the rates of infection of both Streptococcis pneumonieae and group B streptococcal (GBS) among Blacks and American Indians were considerably higher than among Whites. During 2012, Blacks in Wisconsin had a higher rate of influenza hospitalization compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Asians have the highest rates of Hepatitis B and Tuberculosis of any racial/ethnic group in Wisconsin. 14 Key points
