Abstract
<p class="first" id="d16428484e128">On March 13, 2020, the president of the United
States declared a national emergency
in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic (1). With reports
of laboratory-confirmed cases in all 50 states by that time (2), disruptions were
anticipated in the U.S. health care system's ability to continue providing routine
preventive and other nonemergency care. In addition, many states and localities issued
shelter-in-place or stay-at-home orders to reduce the spread of COVID-19, limiting
movement outside the home to essential activities (3). On March 24, CDC posted guidance
emphasizing the importance of routine well child care and immunization, particularly
for children aged ≤24 months, when many childhood vaccines are recommended.
