Percent of seniors age 65 and older in the state receiving a seasonal flu vaccination |
The measure focuses on adults aged 65+ who have had an influenza vaccination within the past year. This measure is used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and states to monitor health status and is an important measure of achievement of immunization program objectives. The measure is a pre-event indicator of the capacity of the state's public and private immunization infrastructure needed to respond to an emerging vaccine controllable disease. |
