(A Cup of Health with CDC)
Listen To This Podcast (6:29)
One of the Healthy People 2010 objectives is to achieve 90 percent coverage of noninstitutionalized adults aged >/=65 years for both influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations. To assess progress toward this goal, CDC analyzed data from the 2004 and 2005 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) surveys. The results of this assessment indicated that, overall, influenza vaccination coverage was lower in the 2005 survey year than in 2004, whereas pneumococcal vaccination coverage was nearly unchanged from 2004 to 2005. Created: 10/6/2006 by MMWR.
Date Released: 10/6/2006.
