Race/Ethnicity, Adults 65 Years and Older

Table 10 summarizes national weighted estimates of influenza vaccination coverage by race/ethnicity for adults ≥65 years, across several recent influenza seasons. Coverage estimates have been previously published for the 2009-10 influenza season and the 2010-11 season, but estimates for 2007-08 and 2008-09 have not been previously published.

Please note: There have been changes in data sources, time periods, and vaccination recommendations across seasons. The 2009-10 influenza season was unique for several reasons: two vaccines and vaccination periods, and the availability of information for more high risk conditions. Detailed methods are available for the 2009-10 influenza season and the 2010-11 season. For 2007-08 and 2008-09 BRFSS adult estimates, the same analytic methods were used as for the 2010-11 season estimates just cited.

Additional estimates for 2009-10 vaccination coverage are available in Table 10-B or by selecting the column heading “2009-10 Seasonal (Trivalent)” in Table 10-A.
