Table 4.1. Percent of adults aged 50 years and over who received influenza vaccine, by age group and sex: United States, 1997-2000
NOTES: The analysis excluded those with unknown influenza vaccination status. Age-adjusted estimates for persons aged 65 years and over (Healthy People 2010 leading health indicator) are based on year 2000 standard population using two age groups: 65-74 years and 75 years and over. DATA SOURCE: Sample Adult Core component of the National Health Interview Survey. |

For adults aged 50-64 years, the annual percent of persons who received influenza vaccine decreased from 34.6% in 2000 to 32.2% in 2001. The decrease was primarily seen among women who had higher rates than men. |
For adults aged 65 years and over, the annual percent of persons who received influenza vaccine continued to decline: 65.7% in 1999, to 64.3% in 2000 and 63.0% in 2001. This was due to the delay in influenza vaccine availability for 2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons. |
