We produced and tested rules to predict undervaccination among preschool-age emergency department (ED) patients. Data were gathered on demographics, vaccination status, health status, and health care utilization from parents, ED physicians, and ED charts at an urban teaching hospital in Rochester, N.Y.

Factors associated with undervaccination for any vaccine included parental report of vaccination delay (odds ratio = 8.1; p
