How do I cite Healthy People 2030?
Government documents in APA 7 take the form of
Name of Government Agency. (Year). Title of document: Subtitle. URL of specific document
We suggest the citation information on the Health People site take this form:
Healthy People 2030 [Internet]. Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion [cited [Date URL was accessed]]. Available from: [Specific URL].
Therefore, this page Increase the proportion of adults age 19 years or older who get recommended vaccines — IID‑D03 https://health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/browse-objectives/vaccination/increase-proportion-adults-age-19-years-or-older-who-get-recommended-vaccines-iid-d03 would look like this in APA style 7th edition:
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (n.d.). Immunization and Infectious Diseases. Increase the proportion of adults age 19 years or older who get recommended vaccines — IID‑D03. August 22, 2023. https://health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/browse-objectives/vaccination/increase-proportion-adults-age-19-years-or-older-who-get-recommended-vaccines-iid-d03
