A call received from (312) 201-4623 is about The National Immunization Survey (NIS). This survey is sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a federal agency of the U.S. government, and is conducted by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago.
This important national survey is intended to improve the health of Americans by collecting information about childhood, adolescent, and adult immunizations. The information collected helps identify communities or areas needing additional resources for immunization programs. The information gathered is confidential and used for statistical purposes only, as specified by law in Section 308(d) of the Public Health Service Act and the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act. No individual persons can be identified from any estimates or data that are released. You can access additional information about the NIS at http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nis/about_nis.htm .
If you receive calls after refusing to participate or have dealt with an interviewer who was not polite, please ask to speak with a survey supervisor. A supervisor is always on duty and can deal with the situation appropriately and correct any problems.
You may request the interviewer to take your number off the survey call list or you can call the NORC toll free number at 1-866-999-3340 to make this request. The survey “no call” list is different from state or national “do not call” lists.
If you have questions or concerns about this survey, call CDC’s toll-free number, 1-800-223-8118, or send an email to
