Annual season influenza vaccinations

This indicator shows the percentage of adults who are vaccinated annually against seasonal influenza. For many people, the seasonal flu is a mild illness, but for some it can lead to pneumonia, hospitalization, or death. Vaccination of persons in high-risk populations is especially important to reduce their risk of severe illness or death

Data Details

Source	Maryland DHMH Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) (www.marylandbrfss.org)
Numerator	Maryland adults who reported they have had either a seasonal flu shot or a flu vaccine sprayed in their nose during the past year.
Denominator	Maryland adults age 18 and over
Reporting Threshold (*)	50 or relative standard error >=30.0%
Calculation	Weighted (Numerator/Denominator)*100= Single-Year Calculation
Race/ ethnicity	All races/ ethnicities (aggregated) Black Non-Hispanic, Hispanic, White Non-Hispanic, Asian Non-Hispanic
Other	In 2011, the BRFSS weighting methodology was changed. This makes data collected from 2011 forward incomparable to data collected prior to 2011. The SHIP resumed including BRFSS data in 2013, where baselines from 2011 BRFSS data were calculated. Data collected from survey respondents are adjusted to more accurately represent the Maryland population. This is called "weighted data".
